What are Chinese chicken fingers?

Chinese Chicken fingers are a type of finger food that is typically made from chicken. The term “finger” refers to the shape of the food and not to the size or quantity of it; in other words, chicken fingers are not really fingers at all but rather a finger-shaped piece of chicken.

What are Chinese chicken fingers made of?

4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
1 cup flour
1-quart canola oil
1 cup cornstarch
1.5 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon sugar
1 cup Seltzer water

Instructions

Mix the dry ingredients in a large mixing bowl and stir until well combined.
Mix in the seltzer water slowly until well combined. It should be a little bit thicker than pancake batter. Add more seltzer water or flour if you need to change the texture.
Cut the chicken into thin strips and salt them.
The chicken should be dipped into the batter and ensure it covers each piece completely.
In a deep fryer that has been preheated, carefully lower the chicken, and cook until golden brown.

Tips

Make sure the chicken is cooked through.
Make sure there are no bones in the chicken fingers.
Make sure you are using a quality chicken product.
Don’t overcook your chicken fingers!

What to serve with?

Chicken fingers are a great snack, but they’re not the only thing to serve with them. Here are some ideas:

Baked Potatoes with Cheese and Bacon
French Fries (with or without ketchup)
Cottage Cheese (or Greek Yogurt)
Buffalo Wild Wings Potato Wedges

Storage

Storing chicken fingers is easy, but you must be careful. If you put them in the freezer or the refrigerator, they’ll dry out and become hard. Instead, keep them in a plastic bag or container with a sealable top. You can also store them in the refrigerator if you’re not planning to use them immediately.

Health Benefits

Many people think chicken fingers are just a way to get your kids to eat chicken, but they’re packed with so many health benefits! From high protein to low fat, chicken fingers are an excellent choice when it comes to eating healthily.

Chicken Fingers are high in protein; one serving of chicken fingers contains 12 grams of protein. And while the protein content is high, most of it is in the form of amino acids rather than complete proteins. This means that you won’t have to worry about getting too much of any one kind of amino acid.

The high amount of iron in chicken fingers also makes them an excellent choice for anyone with iron-deficiency anemia or at risk for developing it. Iron-deficiency anemia can cause a wide variety of symptoms, including fatigue and weakness, shortness of breath, headaches, irritability and constipation. These symptoms can sometimes be life-threatening if left untreated. By consuming iron-rich foods, you can help prevent this condition from occurring in the first place!
