We didnt have buttermilk, So we used skim milk, 3 table spoons of butter and mixed it together, But it was good just needs a few more spices! And ate it with baked potato! :)

LOVE this chicken fingers recipe! The breading is crispy, the taste is delicious and the chicken stays moist. As a mother of boys and having a husband who is a picky eater, this recipe is a MUST in our home!

The whole family enjoyed these. I didn't have Parmesan cheese and my bread crumbs were seasoned.

Great recipe. My five-year-old son helped me make them, and my husband and son both loved them. I used milk instead of buttermilk.

My family loves this recipe. I have even shared this with my mother and her and my father also enjoy these. They are great with ranch dressing.

My teenage son loves chicken fingers (surprise, surprise!!). He invited some friends over for dinner and asked me to make chicken fingers in my deep fat fryer (as opposed to oven frying them). I looked for a new recipe and decided to try this one. It was a hit with everyone, including me! They were delicious! I actually cooked over 3 pounds of chicken breast tenderloins, and the stated coating ingredients were enough even for that amount of chicken. You do not need to turn the chicken when using a deep fat fryer.

My daughter is very picky and she loves these! She says they are almost as good as O'Charleys, her favorite resturant.
