These chicken fingers are my kids favorite. The chicken is always so tender and has a lovely flavor from the egg mixture/breadcrumb combo. You can really mix these up with different seasonings/herbs added to the breadcrumb mix too. These are also great served with my Low Sugar Tomato Ketchup. The sides are totally up to you, but I normally pair with some homemade oven baked fries and a veg of choice.
