Parmesan Chicken Fingers Recipe Recipe

This Parmesan Chicken Fingers Recipe is a great game-time meal for two and a change from popular chicken wings.

Ideally you'll want food you can eat with one hand while grasping the remote with the other. Avoid any dish that requires utensils so you're not dividing your attention or the main course.

For an appetizer, offer a simple seasoned vegetable, such as cucumber wedges brushed with limejuice and dusted with a mixture of sea salt and cayenne pepper or baby bell peppers, brushed with olive oil, roasted and cored.

As a change from popular chicken wings, prepare this parmesan chicken fingers recipe as an entree.

You can assemble this recipe up to a day in advance. Arrange the chicken strips on a baking sheet as directed below, cover and refrigerate. Make the dip ahead of time as well.

Because this parmesan chicken fingers recipe is baked, not fried, it doesn't require constant attention. And the chicken can be served hot or at room temperature, depending on how a particular game is going. You've got a slam-dunk for dinner.
