Almost everyone in my family requests this golden breaded chicken as their birthday dinner entree. I begin marinating the chicken strips early in the day to cut down on last-minute fuss.—Charlotte Baillargeon, Hinsdale, Massachusetts

This was great! I made it with gluten-free bread crumbs and gluten-free flour. My family loved it, and my daughter who has issues with gluten was thrilled!

These chicken fingers have been a favorite of our family for years. I was a lunchroom director and increased this reciepe to make enough for 200 so we could serve them at school. We baked them for effeciency sake and they were great. No preservatives and really good.

Made multiple times over the years. Meat is very tender from the buttermilk. I added pepper.

Very good Chicken Fingers Recipe. The only reason why I did not give it 5 stars is because for our taste it could have a bit more flavor. Otherwise very good and will make again!
