Crocked Cheese Fingers Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the chicken lengthwise into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Whisk the milk, cayenne, eggs and a pinch of salt and pepper in another shallow dish until combined. Put the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
• Dredge the chicken fingers in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing to help adhere well. Set aside on a piece of wax paper or a baking sheet.
• Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the chicken fingers, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken fingers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season with salt. Serve with honey mustard, spicy ketchup and/or ranch dressing for dipping.

Steps:

• 1. Place all ingredients in a blender or food processor and blend until a coarse puree. Cut a square of colored plastic wrap to fit a nice, new terracotta container or other suitable container. Put square inside the container with about 5 inches showing above the top of the container. Fill container with cheese. Gather wrap and tie with a raffia bow. This will keep for several weeks in the refrigerator.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Combine the chicken and buttermilk in a shallow dish. Cover and chill for 15 minutes.
• Spray a baking sheet with cooking spray. Put the cereal in a sealed plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin. Transfer the crumbs to a shallow dish. Season the chicken with the salt and a few grinds of pepper. Dip each piece of chicken in the cereal to fully coat and arrange on the baking sheet. Bake until cooked through, about 8 minutes. Leave the chicken on the baking sheet to cool slightly. It will become crispier.
• Serve with the mustard sauce.
• In a small bowl, stir together the mustard and mayonnaise until smooth. Stir in the honey.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450°F. Spray cookie sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
• In a resealable plastic bag, mix Bisquick mix, breadcrumbs, cheese, cheese crackers, garlic salt and oregano leaves.
• In shallow dish, beat egg whites slightly. Dip the chicken tenders in egg whites; place in bag with Bisquick mixture. Seal the bag and shake to coat.
• Place chicken tenders on the cookie sheet; drizzle butter over chicken. Bake 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Add the first 8 ingredients to the container of a food processor.
• Process a few seconds.
• Slowly pour in the wine and blend until mixture is a spreadable consistency.
• Transfer mixture to a small crock or bowl; cover and refrigerate.
• Bring to room temperature and serve with crackers.

Steps:

• Place bread on 2 baking sheets. Broil 3-4 inches from heat about 1 1/2 minutes, until bread begins to brown. Remove bread and reduce temperature to 375°. Place cheese in a 8-cup glass measure. Microwave on HIGH about 1 minute (or more) to soften. Remove and vigorously stir in egg yolks and beer until mixture is fairly smooth. Spread a layer on each slice of bread, covering bread completely. Bake 8 minutes, or until cheese topping begins to puff. If desired, run under broiler 1 minute to brown top. Cut each slice into 3 fingers. Serve immediately.
