Chinese Chicken Fingers
I haven't had Chinese Chicken Fingers since 2004. Man those fuckers are tasty little guys! After searching in vain through almost every chinese restaurant I could find for chicken fingers I came up empty. It's weird because thought chinese chicken fingers were all across the USA but everyone I ask that isn't from the northeast doesn't know what they are.I decided a couple weeks ago that I would search for the recipe that the chinese restaurants use to make those little tasty asian treats. I asked my boy Terry who lives in Massachusetts if he could go to a chinese restaurant and get me the recipe. To my delight and suprise he said they sell the actual batter mix at the grocery store. He said he'd buy me some and mail it to me. Well in typical lazy Terry fashion I still don't have the batter mix. So I looked on the internet for the receipe and found it! Here's the receipe:
Ingredients:
Batter:
1 1/2 c. flour
2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 eggs
3/4 c. milk
1 1/2 tbsp. salad oil
Directions:
1. Slice chicken in long thin strips. Dip in batter.
2. Deep fry in vegetable oil.
I performed this receipe to a T. This receipe either was missing something or maybe just maybe I did something wrong because this possibly was the blandest chicken I've ever tasted. If you know what pancakes taste like without butter and syrup but add salt, pepper
& chicken then this is the recipe for you!
I'll continue to dream about those golden doughy crunchy chicken treats until I actually taste the real thing.
Checkout the photos!

I saw a show on the food network highlighting Boston (some huge mall with a huge food court) They started talking about chicken fingers! I must admit, they did look pretty tasty.
Chicken Fingers rule the nation!
(never really tasted one...but they look yummy.)

originally from MASS i cant find them anywhere in Vermont that taste as good as South China in Lawrence. Another thing you cant find anywhere is pork strips white meat with red edges.
I found if you use Onion Ring Batter Mix and add little bit of Flour it will work but of course never as good as the real thing.
dont forget to double dip them for the thick batter!
