    This is a great fried chicken finger recipe! I have tried several recipes/methods and this one is a keeper. I have 3 teen boys and all of them loved these and said these were the best fingers that I have cooked.

    Rebecca’s Chicken Fingers, A friend graciously shared this recipe with me over 25 years ago, and it’s probably my most requested dish It ‘travels’ beautifully, so it’s perfect for potlucks, tailgate parties, or that long drive to the beach It’s fairly time-consuming, but I hope you will agree that the results make it worthwhile My apologies that some of the measurements are guesstimates, since this is a recipe that’s very difficult to ‘quantify’ Once you get into it, though, it’s not difficult at all to figure out how much you need of any particular ingredient , This is a great fried chicken finger recipe! I have tried several recipes/methods and this one is a keeper I have 3 teen boys and all of them loved these and said these were the best fingers that I have cooked , Awesome! I made these to take to a horse show and they were the first to go by our group! Thanks for sharing!

    Steps

    1
    Done

    Rinse Chicken With Cold Water; Pat Dry With Paper Towels.

    2
    Done

    Cut Chicken Into Small Strips (the Perfect"finger" Is About Two Bites' Worth-- and, Unless You're Iron Chef, Kitchen Shears Do the Job a Lot Quicker Than a Knife).

    3
    Done

    Pour Buttermilk Into a Large, Non-Reactive Container; Add Raw Egg, Stirring Until Well-Combined.

    4
    Done

    Add Garlic Powder to Mixture (i Don't Measure, but Give the Container at Least 5 or 6 Good, Hard Shakes).

    5
    Done

    Sprinkle Lemon-Pepper Seasoning Heavily Over the Buttermilk Mixture (shake Until the Top Is Totally Black).

    6
    Done

    Stir Seasonings Into Buttermilk and Then Add Chicken Pieces; Stir Again So That Chicken Is Thoroughly Coated.

    7
    Done

    Cover With Plastic Wrap and Refrigerate Overnight.

    8
    Done

    When Ready to Cook, Pour Enough Oil Into a Heavy Skillet to Cover Chicken Pieces Halfway.

    10

    11
    Done

    Remove Chicken Pieces from Marinade and Dredge in Batter to Coat, Replenishing Batter as Necessary (the Buttermilk Makes the Flour'clump', So It's Best to Mix Smaller Amounts and Add to It as You Go).

    Fry Chicken in Hot Oil Until Well-Browned; Turn and Repeat, Cooking on Second Side Until Done.

    13
