I was at work yesterday and suddenly got a craving for breaded chicken fingers. Go figure. I almost called the restaurant which is close by and ordered some in for lunch. But decided if I still had a craving by the time I got home, I would make them for dinner.
Well, I did still crave chicken fingers so thank goodness boneless chicken breasts don't take long to defrost. While the chicken defrosted I cut up a loaf of bread and processed it into crumbs and added some fresh grated parmesan cheese. I love using fresh bread crumbs to bread chicken.
Once the chicken had defrosted enough it was cut into fingers, pounded out, rubbed with fresh garlic that had been pureed on a microplane, salt and peppered and then dipped into seasoned flour, egg and the bread crumbs.
I pulled out my electric skillet to fry the chicken strips.
And if you are going to have Breaded Chicken Fingers you might as well have homemade fries too.
Do you usually give in to everything you crave? Do you buy or make it yourself?

I'm so hungry looking at this...
I generally don't give in to cravings unless I have them for more than a week, and even then I try to wait them out. But when I do get them, it just depends whether or not I could do it better than I could buy it. Like fried chicken- when I want true fried chicken, I couldn't do it as well by myself.
Mmmm looks yummy! :)
*drool*
Mmmmm.. I usually give into cravings and I just go out and buy it usually. I'm too impatient to actually make it. Haha
Usually I would buy the food I was craving because usually making it takes too long! LOL. But I have been known to make chocolate chip cookies and other baked goodies if I wanted it bad enough.
yummmmmm
