We really enjoyed these chicken fingers...they were easy to whip up and came out very tender...crispy on the outside and moist on the inside...we had two different dips...blue cheese and honey mustard...I was surprised I had everything on hand with the exception of the buttermilk so I added some vinegar into my milk to sour it up...I did cut the recipe in half and we each got four fingers...there still was plenty of dredge and liquid mixture to make at least four more...thanks for posting this yummy recipe...:)

I'm just me, mother, grandmother...friend to many and a Louisianian. My Cajun and French Quarter Italian descent afforded me exposure to some of the best of foods. My passions are my family, decorating, cooking and gardening. Those very passions push me into constant awareness with always looking for something new to delight the senses, thus my favorite idiom...Inspire me, puuuullllllleeeeeeease! ...and I mean it, too. God Bless America!
