It’s your favorite crispy chicken fingers, but with a twist that everyone will love.
In our house, any sort of fried chicken is always a hit!
We love this recipe. It tastes great and has a punch of flavor that is a nice change from traditional schnitzel.
I often double the marinade and save half to use as a dipping sauce.
