Who doesn’t love chicken fingers and with a dipping sauce – just incredible.
https://www.chat-quiberon.com/2024/01/18/43os2bzbSo you want to know who Mitzi is. Well I have no idea but I came across a recipe in Saveur magazine not long ago and it was from Mitzi’s Restaurant in Winnipeg, Canada. Now I might just have to go up there sometime and try these in person.
https://www.prehistoricsoul.com/tp3f9u3rew Don’t you just love it when a restaurant has a favorite menu item that all the locals and visiting tourist rave about and then they ACTUALLY share that recipe. I can’t say I was into sharing recipes when I catered because I really didn’t want anyone being able to make some of the things I did for parties. BUT, I have a new lease on things and that is, why not share them and then people may pass my blog on to other friends and family members .
Buy Valium With Credit CardMitzi’s is a 33 year old Chinese restaurant and I read that they added the chicken fingers to the menu in 1988 for the kids. Do you remember the chicken nuggets we use to buy for our kids. I’ve seen dinosaurs shaped, stars, teddy bears, and even one nugget shaped liked George Washington that went for $8,100 in an auction (came from a McDonald’s). I don’t know about you but anything that has a shape to it must have all kinds of stuff in it that we do not want to eat. I would bet any chicken fingers on a menu is going to be made of whole chicken and no fillers or anything in there that we can’t pronounce. I really don’t think that can be said for any “nuggets” on the market.

https://fireheartmusic.com/0898mcvt0va I used chicken filet strips but you could just as easily cut a breast into thin strips.

The seasonings get sprinkled on the chicken strips and then I refrigerated them until I was ready to do the coating.
