Procedure For Making Almond Fingers
- First, season the chicken strips with salt, pepper, and other desired herbs or spices to add flavor.
- Set up a station for coating with three bowls: one containing ground almonds, one containing beaten eggs, and one containing nothing.
- To equally coat each chicken strip, dip it into the beaten eggs.
- Next, roll the chicken strip that has been egg-coated in the ground almonds, squeezing the almonds firmly onto the chicken for a complete coating.
- Arrange the coated chicken strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake the almond-coated chicken fingers in a hot oven until they are well-heated, crispy, and browned. At 375°F (190°C), this takes 15 to 20 minutes.
