CRISPY CHICKEN FINGERS

Steps:

• Cut the chicken lengthwise into 3/4-inch-wide strips. Put the flour in a shallow dish. Whisk the milk, cayenne, eggs and a pinch of salt and pepper in another shallow dish until combined. Put the breadcrumbs in a third shallow dish.
• Dredge the chicken fingers in the flour, shaking off the excess, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the panko breadcrumbs, pressing to help adhere well. Set aside on a piece of wax paper or a baking sheet.
• Heat about 1/2 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches, fry the chicken fingers, turning occasionally, until golden brown and cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer the chicken fingers to a paper towel-lined plate to drain and season with salt. Serve with honey mustard, spicy ketchup and/or ranch dressing for dipping.

PARMESAN FINGER TOT BAR

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• In a pot, cover the potatoes with 1 inch of water. Add enough salt to make the water taste salty. Bring to a boil, then simmer until the potatoes have just barely softened, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain completely. Pour the potatoes onto a sheet tray and use another sheet tray to press and flatten them, breaking the skins. Add a good amount of salt (potatoes love salt), then the olive oil, Parmesan and pepper and toss to distribute.
• Bake until crisp, flipping occasionally, 25 to 30 minutes. Top with suggested toppings as desired. Serve hot.
• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F. Place a wire rack into a full-sheet pan and spray the rack with cooking spray.
• Place the brown sugar in a pie dish. Gently press both sides of each slice of bacon into the sugar until coated (there can be patches of uncoated bacon). Work quickly, as the brown sugar can compromise the moisture of the bacon and impede caramelization.
• Place the coated bacon on the prepared rack. Bake, rotating the sheet pan midway through, until super-crispy and golden, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from the rack immediately to prohibit sticking and let cool on a nonstick surface, such as parchment.

PEPPERY SAUSAGE FINGERS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚. Roll out the puff pastry into a 10-inch square on a lightly floured surface. Cut into 8 strips, then cut each in half crosswise. Pat the sausages dry with a paper towel and cut each in half crosswise. Wrap a strip of puff pastry around each sausage, gently rolling the seams against a clean surface to seal.
• Arrange the wrapped sausages on a baking sheet, leaving a little space between each. Brush with the beaten egg and sprinkle with the cheese and 3/4 teaspoon pepper. Bake until golden, 25 to 30 minutes.
• Combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, mustard and garlic in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Serve with the sausages.

CONTEST-WINNING CRISPY CHICKEN FINGERS

Steps:

• Combine the first 6 ingredients in a shallow bowl. In a second shallow bowl, whisk egg and buttermilk. Dip a few pieces of chicken at a time in buttermilk mixture, then in flour mixture; toss to coat., In an deep cast-iron or electric skillet, heat oil to 375°. Fry chicken, a few strips at a time, until chicken is no longer pink and crust is golden brown, 2-3 minutes on each side. Drain on paper towels.
