Crispy Chicken Fingers with Tartar Sauce

This recipe for Crispy Chicken Fingers pairs perfectly with a tangy homemade tartar sauce. These baked chicken tenders are crispy, flavorful, and healthier than fried versions, making them a great choice for a family dinner or game-day snack.

Ingredients:

For the Chicken Tenders:

  • 1 kg chicken breast, sliced into strips
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 2 tbsp cornstarch
  • 2 tbsp flour
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1-2 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ chicken broth cube, crushed
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • 3-4 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • ½ tsp salt

For the Tartar Sauce:

  • 1 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 1 tsp parsley
  • 2 tbsp pickle relish
  • Pinch of salt
  • Ground black pepper

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare the Breading Mixture

In a mixing bowl, combine the milk, cornstarch, flour, salt, ground black pepper, paprika, garlic powder, and the crushed chicken broth cube. Mix thoroughly to create a smooth coating mixture.

3. Prepare the Egg and Breadcrumbs

In a separate bowl, beat the egg.
In another bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, dried parsley, and salt.

4. Coat the Chicken

  • Dip each chicken strip into the milk mixture, ensuring it’s evenly coated.
  • Then, dip the coated chicken strip into the beaten egg.
  • Finally, coat the chicken strip with the panko breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the crumbs stick well.

5. Bake the Chicken

  • Arrange the coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through and the breading is crispy and golden brown.

6. Make the Tartar Sauce

While the chicken is baking, prepare the tartar sauce. In a small bowl, combine the mayonnaise, lemon juice, sugar, parsley, pickle relish, pinch of salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well until smooth.

7. Serve

Serve the crispy chicken fingers hot, with the tartar sauce on the side for dipping.

Tips:

  • If you prefer extra crispiness, you can flip the chicken fingers halfway through baking.
  • For added flavor, sprinkle some parmesan cheese into the panko breadcrumb mixture before coating the chicken.
