Crunchy Chicken “Toes,” recipe #7

By Marybeth Feutz 1 Comment

I don’t cook with chicken very often. We just don’t have much chicken in our freezer! We end up eating a lot of red meat and pork, which I love, but a little chicken every once in a while is a nice change of pace. We just loved this take on chicken fingers!autumnfamilyfriends

Mix together 1 cup of crushed corn flakes, 1 cup plain bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons of brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon allspice.

(Did you know that you can buy corn flake crumbs? They are right next to the bread crumbs. I had no idea until after I made this recipe!)

I realized, a little too late, that I did not have any ground allspice in the house. So I did a little internet researching, and found that allspice is basically equal parts cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves. I didn’t have any ground cloves, either. So instead of 1/2 tsp allspice, I used 1/4 tsp cinnamon and 1/4 tsp nutmeg. (It still turned out great!)

Okay, so mix all that together (with whichever parts of the spices you have on hand, apparently) and then add some olive oil.

Mix it up so the corn flakes/sugar/spice mixture is nice and moist.

Now line up shallow dishes with the corn flakes/sugar/spice mixture, 2 eggs (beaten), and 1/3 cup flour.

Cut 1.5 pounds of chicken breasts into bite-size pieces, and dredge in the flour.

Then in the egg.

Spread your chicken “toes” out on a non-stick baking sheet, and bake at 375 degrees for 15 minutes.

While you are waiting, mix up some dipping sauce – 1/4 cup honey mustard and 1/4 cup barbecue sauce.

And that’s it! I swear! Super easy, and so yummy!

I’m not particularly a fan of either honey mustard or BBQ sauce for dipping, BUT this combination, with the sugary coating on the chicken, was great!

We had the chicken with a homemade macaroni & cheese recipe from this cookbook (coming soon!!) and some broccoli from our garden. And the dipping sauce, of course.

    This looks really good – and so does the dipping sauce!
    And now I am hungry for Mac & Cheese!
