Tammy's Best Chicken Finger Recipe - Good Southern Cooking

[@judidunham5037]

Out of buttermilk? 1 cup whole milk & 1 Tablespoon lemon juice or white vinegar. Let stand 5 minutes. Voila! Buttermilk. You’re welcome. 😁

[@SomeBuddy777]

Oh my gosh girl, if I was as successful in the kitchen and could do like you, AND eat it, too, I'd be as big as a frigerator, and proud of it!

[@LiLaCnSpRiNg]

I can’t get my chores completed because I’ve just gotta watch your cooking videos! 🥰💖💕💝♥️

[@merryannconte4754]

I just made your chicken fingers, fried potatoes, and dippin sauce for my very picky sons! I moved away from my Louisiana home when I got married in my 20s (long time ago!) No one taught me how to cook. I always try to make delicious food for my boys but they are hardly ever impressed. But when I put the fried chicken, potatoes and tht awesome sauce on the table, my youngest son exclaimed, “Mom, this is the best meal you’ve ever made in your life!” Everyone agreed! I cried. Thank you for teaching me how to cook!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I love stories like this. So glad you were able to make that happen!

[@EasyTBear]

If you oil the measuring spoon first, the honey will pour out more easily and completely.

[@pharmgirl1955]

Seems like the past year, every time we eat out I think to myself I can cook better than that. I think it might be an old people thing. Also, we have a new chicken place about 10 mile away and all they serve are french fries and chicken fingers. Do you know they want a dollar for one finger. We only go there a couple times a year. Merry Christmas Tammy and Chris. Thank you for your cooking channel.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Yes it is getting so expensive to eat out!

[@fellaguy7752]

So simple but so delicious. Been looking for a good fingers batter recipe had been experimenting but this one looks like what I was shooting for. I know, I know, ended the sentence with a preposition. (chuckle)

[@user-cg7ss2xl6c]

I'ma do these again tmrw. They were such a hit and my family has been asking for a while for more homemade chicken fingers and honey mustard home made. Lol. My son in law loves them and I like when he brags to his family about my cooking. 🤣🤣

[@charleswilson4598]

A small point but when I use a spoon to measure out honey I spray it with cooking oil spray first and then the honey slides out easily without much sticking to the spoon.

[@evondiamond3676]

Chick-fil-A are Franchised. They often do things differently depending on the owner. One of the stores here still serve 4 large pieces. This store has 3 lanes for drive through. All computer orders and have a multitude of things for the Christmas season including a live manager. Different Churches sing carols at night . I don’t eat fried foods of any kind. Tonight I would have had to break doctors orders for your chicken fingers and that honey mustard sauce ummmm good ! Be Blessed.

[@jackieoneal4806]

What about air frying, can you have that,?

[@GolDreadLocks]

Hi again Tammy! I was surprised that you didn't make your own 'in a pinch buttermilk', it works perfectly fine!(approx 1 1/2 cups milk, 2 tsp vinegar or lemon juice ) and you are right, bone in isn't the same somehow, so I remove them and, voila! perfect! thank you for another yummy recipe!

[@claudiajames891]

I continue to learn all I need to know about like my dear grandma's cooking! She taught me a lot when I was young. I need a refresher course! Especially useful will be buying your "stuff" to make cooking successful & FUN!🙂🙂

[@dorarobles6604]

You always surprise me with new recipes and I love them because they do remind me of being young and at home while in school. You are so talented and so smart for all you do for us. God bless you

[@mariaconklin3850]

Ms. Tammy, here’s a trick for you. To test if your oil is hot enough for frying put a wooden spoon or wooden chopstick (must be wooden) in the oil and if there are bubbles forming around the wooden spoon, then you oil is hot enough to start frying. I learned this from another cooking channel. It beats having to stick food I. Your pain too soon. Try it, see if it works for you. I do it every time I fry. Chicken tenders look delicious, so does the dipping sauce. ❤️❤️

[@barywilliams3653]

I agree. I went to Chic-fil-a last month and paid 9.79!!! for a 12 piece. Like you I cook chicken all the time and I get a boat load even with only 2 breasts. But I love their "Polynesian sauce." Come to find out it is actually Marzetti's honey french salad dressing in the cold section. Exactly the same. Thank you for sharing !

[@sandywilkerson8525]

I’m going to try your recipe. The mustard sauce is a must try! Thank you Tammy & Chris!

[@candyg5818]

[@MiaCulpa]

How long does that honey mustard last in the fridge? I know my kiddo would love to have it on hand...And making it yourself would be so much cheaper than buying the premade stuff!! I'm really looking at one of those air fryers too...until recently I was able to say 'nobody really needs one of those things!" but the more I see of them the more I'm leaning on 'well, I can see how that could come in handy" lol...I'll probably be talked into wanting one myself by Mother's Day..lol...

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I would think a couple of weeks, it would last as long as sour cream!

[@pennyg1966]

Right now I'm cooking up some pork neckbones with some chicken broth, 1 chopped up onion, 1 tbsp minced garlic, 1tsp celery salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Added some water as it cooks and evaporates. Gonna let these cook with some green lima beans. Then, ill cook up some rice and biscuits. That'll be lunch.

[@TressasSouthernHomeCooking]

Love it Tammy!! You gave the best tips for frying that is for sure. Hope you have a great day! It is so much fun watching you cook!-----Tressa Daigle

If you don't have buttermilk, add a tablespoon of vinegar to a scant cup of milk and mix until it starts to clabber a bit. I love these videos. I'm an old school cook, too. I'm subscribing to this now, after watching a few of your videos. I can make brown sugar out of white sugar and molasses, too, if you want to know how. I only use these methods when I forget to buy the staples, lol.

when I have potatoes or peel too many I just cut them up and put them in a bowl of water and they are nice & crisp for the next time.

[@rosemarquinez1355]

I struggle with oil frying. I made tenders and they was greasy. I used canola oil and it got hot with the 1st two tenders. I did the sizzle & float, then the oil got hot, I turned it down. Tasted fine just greasy. What do I do? I have an electric flat top range.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

You probably turned it down too much

[@marshajordan862]

Greetings. Just watchef your video you did a year ago. You made chicken tenders for your daughter birthday. Both look delicious. Thanks for the recipe for the honey mustard dressing. Blessings.

[@aliciadavidson5005]

Love the tip with the sippy cup lid! Genius!

[@brockbiller805]

Loved this video too. If you add powered milk to your fingers they would taste very much like Chick-fil-A. I can taste it a lot when I have them.

[@THEWIELDBOYS8700]

Looks really good. But why don't you rinse the chicken?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

It is going in hot oil and water will not clean it . It will be okay to eat. I never rinse it unless I see something or feel something on it.

[@seedsoffaith1237]

I saw something about not rinsing raw chicken I need to look it up again

[@cindyfrench3451]

Peanut oil is a very good oil to fry in. It has a very high smoke point. Avocado oil is the only one higher I believe.

[@lhorne4808]

I have wondered what was missing when I made chicken fingers and it might just be the paprika! I might add some cayenne to the flour mix to give it more of a kick. I'll have to skip the mustard sauce, though. Just not something I enjoy at all.

[@candyg5818]

[@elizabethshaw734]

try some high-quality dried dill in your honey mustard sauce It is a game-changer! Separated out from the kids if you must. It is a Swedish sauce with the dill and it is more than delicious. You will need quite a bit but a good dried green still minty smelling Dill.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

That sounds good, I may put some in the sauce I have left to try it!

[@caropapa]

Hi i love to double dip my chicken tenders, i always flour first before egg dip that way i find the coating stays on, tenders would be my go too chicken favorite. with coleslaw and cheesy mash spuds.

[@judyyork4584]

Why is it best to get your skillet hot before putting the oil in?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I think it gets more evenly heated faster if you do it before adding the oil

[@jennifersmith5188]

What is the name of the air fryer you are using? I have a power xl and it tells you to cook the fries in water first . If I make breaded pork chopsm they are so good, but smoke out the house and my beagle hides in the bathroom. I would make a sauce with mayo fage yogurt and cream white horseradish sauce and a little hot red pepper and a dab of ketchup
