Rather than a heavy coating, these chicken fingers are lightly covered in a spicy ground almond and whole-wheat flour mixture that'll have the kids forgetting about fast food and begging for this dinnertime treat.
Ingredient note
Dried egg whites are convenient in recipes like this one because you don't have to figure out what to do with 4 egg yolks. Look for powdered brands like Just Whites in the baking aisle or natural-foods section or fresh pasteurized whites in the dairy case of most supermarkets.
Ah man, it was so delicious! EVERYONE should try this!! the chewy, tender chicken fingers with some crunchy broccoli, (i put melted cheese over the brocolli) It was fantastic!!

I was glad i read the review to only bake the fingers for 10 minutes. I flipped them after 5 and didn\'t need the wire rack. they were very good, and my 10 year old loved them too!

I\'m on Atkins, so I experiment with different coatings for chicken. I modified this one so it works better -- and easier too.
1. Forget the eggs. Just spray PAM on chicken prior to coating.
2. Use almond meal--forget the flour--add parlsey and other herbs for flavor
3. Don\'t cook so long if thin fingers -- better yet, use whole breasts -- comes out juicy instead of dry out
Try 450-475 for 10 minutes tops if fingers
and 25 minutes for whole breasts
Turn off heat, but don\'t open oven door --keep in oven for a few minutes to cook inside.
You\'ll love the results.
ps
Experiment with other coatings --
A bit of peanut butter then coat with ground peanuts
Ground up wasabi peas or wasabi peanuts
Let me know what you think

Finally, a recipe that I can actually use. I use whole wheat flour all of the time on fish. I have the best tasting fish without all of the calories and I fry the fish in extra virgin olive oil. This recipe is a little different with the almonds, but worth trying because it uses whole wheat flour.
thanks

Mine did not come out like a paste, I used the 1 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil and it came out just fine. AND used the food processor.
For those of you who do not have time, you can just prepare the mixture ahead of time and place it into an air tight container. Fillet the chicken breasts (I used chicken breasts in this recipe) and put in in a clean container. Then when you are ready to cook, pull the mixture, egg white and chicken out of the refrigerator, mix them all together and bake.
I think this mixture is a lot healthier than buying it premixed in packets.
I give this recipe all five stars.
