Let’s jazz up those good old chicken fingers with this super crunchy almond and oats crust. Use the same crust on a full breast, slice it and it’s perfect for a salad! I usually prepare a pot in advance and use the crust mix when I need it. It’s like having my own pimped out shake and bake ready to use in my pantry. If you want to make a big batch in advance and keep it for a long time, place your mix in the fridge and use it when you need it.
I’ve also had interesting result with fish fingers using this same mixture.
– INGREDIENTS –
1/2 cup of quick oats
1/4 cup of all purpose flour (or any other flour you prefer)
1/4 teaspoon of salt
1/2 cup of whole almonds, finely chopped
2 eggs
1 tablespoon of sunflower oil
1 chicken breasts, cut in strips
1- Pre-heat your oven at 350, line a parchment paper on a baking sheet. Reserve.
2- In a mixing bowl, mix together the oats, flour, salt, and chopped almonds. Reserve
3- In another bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs with 1 tablespoon of sun flour oil. Reserve.
4- Dip your chicken strip and dip them in the eggs/oil mixture before tossing them in the almonds/oats mix. Place them on the baking sheet and cook the chicken fingers for 25 minutes, turning them half way in the baking process.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce
These look fantastic and super easy! I think I’ll try them tomorrow. Have you tried frying them instead of baking?
Never tried frying them 🙁 …I really try to eat as less fried food as possible but I’m sure it would be VERY tasty!
Has probado el Pollo a la miel? esta delicioso.
pero me gustaria una version tuya, claro si puedes
Ariel, (like I really know you, lol.)
I am going to try this recipe because it looks so good!! Have you tried making this recipe with egg whites? Just a heathy alternative…
I have a Parmesan & Sundried Tomato Crusted Chicken recipe I made that is similar to yours and hopefully as good as yours!
Respectively,
Zoomer
yes I did!
it’s works perfectly 🙂
Glad you enjoyed my recipes 🙂 Thank you so much for taking the time to write me a comment 🙂
Besides almonds, what other nuts would you use to crust the chicken fingers? And I agree, they do fantastic!
Thanks!
and pretty much any types of nuts that you prefer 🙂 Be creative!
This with the BBQ apple sauce would be amazing.
YES indeed! ..I didnt think about eating them with that but yeah totally!
I just learned about your site and made a grocery run just to try a bunch of it! These were delish! I was going to try it w/ the apple bbq sauce, but I effed up the sauce and simmered it too high and left it too long. Whoops laziness. Def going to retry soon! Love the recipes, I’ll be trying a lot of them.
that’s awesome!!
Don’t forget to come back to let me know how it turned out! 🙂
simply fantastic! greetings from Bolivia!
This looks special dish I love it…..
