Food the faithful lover |
I am having a love affair with food - this blog is our love child. It will showcase various kinds of food porn (from cookies to cakes to pasta to infinite fountains of cheese), my own culinary adventures including my quest for an edible creation that will take my breath away, cooking for one, cooking for two, cooking for forty, eating healthy, and millions of other things all to do with food. I will use my trusty Betty Crocker cookbook as my guide, with my own alterations and add-ons. |

Crispy Chicken Fingers
- 2 large chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup (65 grams) all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 1/4 cup (125 grams) breadcrumbs
- 1/4 (60 ml) vegetable oil
- salt and pepper
1. To make your own chicken fingers, first rinse the chicken breasts under cold running water and pat dry.
2. Working one at a time, place a chicken cutlet between two layers of plastic wrap (or wax paper).
3. With a meat pounder, pound the chicken pieces to flatten them to an even thickness. Try to make them really thin.
4. Cut the meat into 1-inch wide strips and place the strips on a plate. Don’t worry if your strips are not even in shape. Homemade food is not supposed to be perfect. And that’s what makes it perfect.
5. Sprinkle each strip with some salt.
6. Now set up your dredging stations: a plate with the flour that you’ve peppered and salted with about 1/2 tsp of salt, a plate with the lightly beaten eggs and a plate with the breadcrumbs.
7. Working one at a time, dredge the chicken strip first in the flour,…
8. …then in the egg mixture…
9. …and finally coat it with the crumbs. I usually use two forks to press the crumbs on the chicken to adhere.
10. Pour the vegetable oil into a larger frying pan, place it over a medium heat and let it heat up.
11. Working in batches, lay the coated meat strips in the hot pan.
12. Fry for about 2-3 minutes a side. Then remove from the pan and serve.
