Cornflake Ranch Chicken Fingers or Breasts

Submitted by MsSally

"I was looking for an easy, healthy way to fix chicken fingers that my 4 yo would like. This is what I came up with. Very mild ranch/chili flavor. If you like hotter, please add more hot sauce and or cayenne pepper. If you chose to do this on boneless breasts, increase cook time to 30 mins. Note: Prep time does not include marinade time."

This was really easy to prepare, I decided to make the family chicken breasts and in the future I think I would make just chicken fingers because the coating all fell off and burned on the chicken, I would suggest if your baking a chicken breast, perdue thinly sliced cutlets may work better. Thanks for sharing.

What a lovely recipe MsSally. We enjoyed this chicken recipe very much. The crust was crisp and the chicken was spicy, tender and moist. I did use the hot sauce and cayenne pepper. Thanks for sharing.

The flavor of these tenders was very yummy, however I did not give 5 stars because for some reason the bottoms of my tenders were just soggy. I will make them again though, hopefully that was just a mistake on my part!

Delicious chicken fingers, MsSally! My picky youngest son said they were amazing so that's worth 10 stars! I did add the hot sauce, chili powder and a dash of cayenne pepper and it gave it a mild ranch/chili flavor just like you said in the intro. They are not spicy. So good; I will definitely be making them again.

While making this I did leave out both the hot sauce & cayenne pepper! Also substituted lemon pepper for the S&P! THESE WERE GREAT served with a cream cheese & garlic dip I'd made earlier! Thanks for the recipe! [Tagged, made & reviewed in Every Day Is a Holiday!]
