Instructions
-
Prepare the Remoulade Sauce:
- In a bowl, mix together mayonnaise, chives, green onion, creole mustard, dijon-style mustard, and lemon juice.
- Cover and chill the sauce in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld together.
-
-
Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Spray a large baking sheet with vegetable cooking spray to prevent sticking.
-
Prepare the Chicken:
- In a shallow dish, combine bread crumbs, garlic salt, cayenne pepper, and dried oregano. Mix well to create the coating.
- In a separate small bowl, beat together eggs, olive oil, and water to create an egg wash.
- Cut each chicken breast into 1-inch strips, ensuring they are uniform for even cooking.
-
Coat the Chicken:
- Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl.
- Dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.
- Place the coated chicken fingers on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
-
Bake to Perfection:
- Bake the chicken fingers in the preheated oven for about 15 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking.
- Cook until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and tender on the inside.
-
Serve and Enjoy! 🍴:
- Once done, remove the chicken fingers from the oven.
- Serve hot with the chilled remoulade sauce on the side for dipping.
- Garnish with extra chopped chives or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper for an added kick!
Tips for Success:
- Crispy Coating: For an extra crispy coating, you can lightly spray the tops of the chicken fingers with cooking spray before baking.
- Make-Ahead Option: You can prepare the chicken fingers ahead of time and refrigerate them until ready to bake. Just pop them in the oven when you’re ready to serve!
- Customize Your Sauce: Adjust the spice level of the remoulade sauce by adding more or less cayenne pepper to suit your taste.
- Serve with Sides: These chicken fingers are perfect with a side of fries, coleslaw, or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
