Preparation

  • First, whisk the eggs and season lightly with salt and pepper.
  • Trim the chicken breasts and cut them diagonally into 5-6 finger-thick strips (fingers).
  • Season the chicken fingers with salt and pepper.
  • Put the flour in a deep plate and coat the chicken fingers evenly on all sides, carefully tapping off any excess flour.
  • Dip the floured chicken fingers completely in the beaten egg.
  • Place the LEIMER breadcrumbs in a deep plate, remove the chicken fingers from the egg, allow to drain briefly and coat well with breadcrumbs, pressing down gently.
  • Fry in sufficient fat over medium heat in a pan or deep fryer (175°C) until crispy.
  • Drain briefly on kitchen paper and serve while still hot.

 

Enjoy the crunchy chicken fingers with crispy fries, a hearty dip and a fresh salad.

 

Tip for more variety:

For a change, season the chicken strips with Indian curry and serve with pineapple chutney, or vary the seasoning in American Western style and dip in smoky BBQ sauce.
