When your friends are over to watch the game serve them a choice of barbecue sauce, Ranch dressing, or spicy-sweet honey mustard with the Chicken Fingers. This is also great for Tailgating! Ingredients:
1 cup pecan halves |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose baking mix |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
1 (18.4-oz.) package boneless, skinless chicken breast tenderloins |
2 large eggs |
1/2 cup buttermilk |
vegetable cooking spray |
garnish: green onion curls |
Directions:
1. Place pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan.
2. Bake at 350° for 10 minutes or until lightly toasted, stirring occasionally.
3. Process toasted pecans, baking mix, salt, and pepper in a food processor until pecans are finely ground. Place 1/2 cup pecan mixture in a large bowl. Add chicken, tossing to coat.
4. Whisk together eggs and buttermilk. Dip chicken in milk mixture; dredge in remaining pecan mixture. Arrange chicken in a single layer on a lightly greased aluminum foil-lined baking sheet. Lightly coat tops of chicken with vegetable cooking spray.
5. Bake at 425° for 20 to 25 minutes or until chicken is golden brown. When at home arrange on a serving platter, and garnish, if desired.
6. If your Tailgating you can still make them look good on a non breakeable platter with tips in little plastic containers with lids. The guys will love you.
