Pan-Fried Chicken Fingers with Spicy Dipping Sauce
Photo: John Autry; Styling: Cindy Barr
These lightened-up chicken fingers are dredged in a crunchy cereal coating, lightly pan-fried, and served with a spicy homemade mayo that's perfect for dipping.
How to Make It
Step 1
To prepare sauce, combine the mayonnaise, Sriracha, lime juice, and soy sauce in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk. Cover and chill.
Step 2
To prepare chicken, combine flour, black pepper, and paprika. Place flour mixture in a shallow dish. Combine eggs and 1 tablespoon water; place in another shallow dish. Place crushed cereal in another shallow dish.
Step 3
Sprinkle chicken evenly with salt. Working with 1 piece at a time, dredge chicken in flour mixture. Dip in egg mixture; dredge in cereal.
Step 4
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil to pan, swirling to coat. Add chicken pieces to pan; cook 2 minutes on each side or until done. Serve immediately with sauce.

Family loves these
A nice, easy family-friendly meal. Not something I would serve to guests, but great on a work night. I usually double the sauce. Cooking time for me (chicken at room temp) is 3 minutes on each side med-high and then oven at 450 for 5 minutes. They were perfectly cooked.

One of my husband's favorites. I usually pound the chicken down to make it thinner, and if it starts burning, I'll finish in the oven. Also delicious with bbq or wing sauce.

Also had trouble with the chicken cooking evenly without burning the coating. Also, I am a BIG fan of left overs and these just aren't great reheated. I probably won't make again.

Loved the texture and crunch. My picky family called this a "make-again" meal...including the dipping sauce. Like other reviewers, my crumbs were starting to burn well before the chicken was done. Next time I'll try it in the oven.
kimelena1's Review
same cooking problem - wish I had read them first (only time I didn't :( ) I also used panko instead of Kashi. I finished in the oven, as mine were burning on outside too. Unfortunately, my entire meal was ready before chicken was even close. Don't know how they could be done in 4 min unless they were in a deep fryer

I thought this was just okay. A bit bland for my taste, but I'll probably make it again with some additional spices to give it more flavor. This will make for a good base recipe because the texture was good and the chicken came out moist.

I found the coating to be rather overwhelming, there wasn't any missing that the chicken was covered in cereal. Maybe cut down with something to reduce the bran flake-ish smell but keep crunch and slight sweetness.

These were yummy . . . I used Panko instead of the Kashi. Ran into the same issue with the chicken being cooked evenly. Will try again, this time browning the chicken lightly and then finishing them off in the oven. The dipping sauce is terrific! I would imagine the sauce could double as a sandwich spread as well.
Solid recipe.
