Ingredients
Scale
For the Chicken Fingers
- 1 lb chicken strips
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons taco seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs and taco seasoning together until well combined to ensure the chicken will be evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Coat the Chicken: Take each chicken strip and thoroughly coat it with the breadcrumb and seasoning mixture, pressing gently to make sure the crumbs stick well to the chicken.
- Bake the Chicken Fingers: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the coated chicken strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Notes
- Use freshly ground taco seasoning for the best flavor.
- For extra crispiness, lightly spray the coated chicken with cooking spray before baking.
- Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet to allow even baking and crisping.
- Serve with salsa, guacamole, or sour cream for dipping.
- Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C) for safety.
