Chicken Fried Fish Fingers Recipes

Steps:

• Heat oil in frying pan.
• In a shallow dish, combine flour, seasoned salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper. Mix with fork until well blended.
• In a separate shallow dish, "scramble" the eggs with the milk.
• Coat each tender with flour mixture, then egg mixture, then another coat of flour mixture.
• Fry until golden brown, about 5 - 7 minutes per tender. Can cook in batches.

Steps:

• Place the green beans in a microwave-safe dish. Add 1/4 cup water and 1/2 teaspoon salt, cover loosely with plastic wrap and microwave until tender, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, sprinkle the fish all over with 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste. Combine the flour and paprika in a shallow dish. Beat the eggs in another dish. Dip each fish fillet in the eggs, then dredge in the flour mixture, turning to coat. Reserve the flour mixture. Heat 3 tablespoons vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the fish until cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil. Wipe out the skillet. Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Whisk in 3 tablespoons of the reserved flour mixture, then add the chicken broth and 1/4 cup water; bring to a boil, whisking. Add the milk, cream cheese and parsley; cook, whisking, until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Divide the fish among plates. Top with the sauce and sprinkle with paprika. Serve with the green beans.

• Add fish six pieces at a time. Do not crowd fish.
• Cook until fish is golden brown and flakes easily (about 3 to 5 minutes each side).

Steps:

• Preheat the oil in a large cast iron or heavy bottomed pot, over medium heat. Cut the fillets, horizontally into strips, 1/2-inch thick. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Combine the flours and season with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece of fish in the flour, coating completely. Dip each piece in the egg wash, letting the excess drip off. Dredge the fish for a second time in the flour, coating completely. Fry the fish in batches until crispy, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the fish with lemon halves and tartar sauce and garnish with parsley.
• Combine all ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine. Add lemon juice and salt, to taste. Refrigerate until thoroughly chilled.

Steps:

• Flatten chicken breasts and slice into large strips. Place in a large bowl and cover completely with buttermilk. Refrigerate 4 to 6 hours.
• Fill a pie plate or large shallow bowl with flour, season with salt and pepper. Heat two skillets with about a 1/2-inch of oil. While the oil is heating, coats the chicken fingers with the seasoned flour.
• Fry chicken in the oil until done (oil should not cover the top of the breasts), about 10 minutes per batch.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450.
• Place crackers, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a large zip top plastic bag. Using a rolling pin, gently crush the crackers to make fine crumbs and set aside.
• Mix mayonnaise and milk in a mixing bowl. Add the chicken tenders to the bowl and mix until tenders are evenly coated.
• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Add about 1/4 of the tenders at a time to the bag of crumbs and shake to coat. Remove the tenders from the bag and place on the baking sheet. Repeat until all of the tenders are coated with crumbs.
• Bake chicken until it is lightly browned and cooked through, about 15 - 20 minutes. Using spatula, remove tenders from sheet. Serve at once, either alone or with dipping sauce (such as BBQ, honey mustard, ranch dressing, etc.).

Steps:

• Chicken Fingers: Cut each breast half into 4 strips.
• Combine chicken strips, milk, and next 3 ingedients in a heavy duty zip-top bag; seal and chill 4 hours.

Steps:

• Place the catfish strips in a large shallow dish and pour the buttermilk over the top (if using the hot sauce, whisk the hot sauce into the buttermilk first). Turn the strips to make sure they are coated in the buttermilk. Allow to marinate for at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.
• Mix the cornmeal, flour, baking powder, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, dry mustard and cayenne together in a large shallow dish.
• Fill a large (10- or 12-inch) skillet with vegetable oil to a depth of 1/2 inch and heat over medium-high heat until very hot: A pinch of the cornmeal mixture should sizzle when it hits the oil.
• Remove the catfish strips from the buttermilk and discard the buttermilk. Let the excess liquid drip off the strips before dredging. Dredge the catfish strips in the cornmeal mixture until evenly coated, shaking off the excess.
• Carefully lay the first strip into the hot oil, then add as many strips as can comfortably fit into the pan without overcrowding; you want to keep an inch or so of space between each piece. Fry the strips until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side, then transfer the strips to a wire rack to drain. Repeat with the remaining strips, adding more oil if necessary (be sure to reheat the oil if you add more).
• Sprinkle the catfish fingers with Lemon Parsley Salt and serve with lemon wedges.
• Place the parsley leaves on a plate covered with a paper towel. Microwave on medium-high heat in 30-second intervals until the parsley dries out (but retains color), about 2 minutes depending on your microwave.
• Blend the salt with the lemon zest and parsley leaves in a spice grinder or blender until fine. Makes about 1/3 cup.
