Fresh veggies from my garden
I am NOT a gourmet cook. I'm too white trash for that. :) I like to think of my cooking more as classic comfort food. I don't tend to use anything to exotic. But I am willing to try anything as long as it is not too expensive and one of my friends will be willing to eat it. So if you're looking for some great family recipes you came to the right place.

Lori's Spicy Chicken Fingers

Threw this together one weekend. Chicken breasts had been on sale and I had a freezer full. Since it was football time it was time for a football munchie recipe. I like spicy so this has a bite. Adjust accordingly to your taste. They tasted fried but they are actually baked.


       2 boneless skinless chicken breasts

       1 cup seasoned Panko breadcrumbs
       ½ cup Bisquick
       1 teaspoon seasoning salt
       1 tablespoon Mesquite seasoning*
       2 tablespoons Fiery Five Pepper Seasoning*
       ¼ cup grated parmesan/romano cheese
      
       1 tablespoon chicken rub*
       ½ cup all purpose flour
       1 teaspoon black pepper

       2 egg yolks
       Hot sauce (option for those who like the fire)

   * McCormick’s Grillmates seasonings

Directions:

     Coat bottom of 9”x 13” pan with just enough oil to cover the bottom. Pre heat oven to 425.

      Rinse chicken in COLD water. Cut breast lengthwise to create 4 large thin pieces. Cut the sections into strips @ ¾-1” thick.  Set aside.

      In a medium bowl mix the first group of ingredients. Panko to cheese.

      In another medium bowl mix flour with chicken rub and black pepper.

      In a 3rd bowl beat the 2 egg yolks with about a teaspoon of cold water. For those of you who like it real hot add the hot sauce of your choice.

      Dredge the chicken strips in the flour, then the egg, then the panko mixtire. Coating thoroughly with each. Place stips in oiled baking dish.

      Cook for about 10 minutes. Flip each strip and cook for about another 10 minutes.

      Serve with ranch or bleu cheese dressing. Or if you're a fire lover, dip in hot sauce with a bit of melted butter in it. Enjoy!!
