You all, I nearly forgot all about these rooster fingers. Initially, I didn’t wish to share the recipe, so I set it apart and forgot about it for a few weeks. That wasn’t sensible.

You’ll typically discover that it’s served with a bang bang sauce, which is normally a mix of mayo and chili sauce. And if it’s house-made most likely just a few different substances too.

Creighton would all the time inform me that I have to recreate your complete meal at dwelling. He’s an enormous rooster fingers man (he loves my baked rooster fingers). And everyone knows how a lot he loves the sauces.

Listed below are the main points

In case you’ve made any of my breaded rooster recipes, you’re already very aware of this course of.

To begin, mix up the crumbs. For these rooster fingers, I went with a mix of cornflakes, unsweetened coconut, and sesame seeds. I wish to rapidly crush the crumbs within the meals processor with some paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder.

In case you don’t have a meals processor, here’s a tip. Merely add the cornflakes to a ziplock bag (or use the cornflake bag itself). Then step on the bag together with your ft to finely crush them. Or use your arms, however actually, crushing them together with your ft (I do know it sounds bizarre) works greatest.

Now toss the rooster with a few crushed eggs and a few scorching sauce. Dredge the rooster by way of the crumbs.

Subsequent, bake the rooster within the oven till it crisps throughout. My secret is to softly dab/brush the rooster with olive oil earlier than it bakes. This helps the coating to actually crisp up properly within the oven.

And for the sauce, candy Thai chili sauce, mayo, lime, and seasonings. Combine every little thing up and that’s it.

Along with the bang bang sauce, I like to combine additional candy Thai chili sauce with ketchup and lime. Completely non-obligatory, however a pleasant sauce to serve too.

It’s SO GOOD with the creaminess of the bang bang sauce.

The rooster is a contact crispy, and candy, however under no circumstances too candy. The sauce is spicy, creamy, and tangy. Put every little thing collectively it turns into the yummiest rooster fingers meal. A lot (actually) good taste.
