Lee's Chicken Fingers
NeedTaste |This is my son's favorite. I created this after trying a tempura batter recipe for frying vegetables. It looks like it is going to take a lot of time because of all the ingredients, but it is really quick and easy. It is also easy to make changes to.. Kiddos are going to go crazy for these homemade chicken fingers. The mix of herbs and spices is subtle but super flavorful. The ginger ale in the tempura batter gives these chicken fingers a slightly sweet taste. You'll never buy frozen chicken fingers again.
