four foods on Friday #39 - oven bakes

Looks like it’s time to play Four Foods on Friday again. Last week, I was such a scatterbrain I forgot to write up a little something before I posted my answers to the questions.

#1. When you need to serve desserts, do you buy them or make them?
I usually buy but if I have time, I prefer to make them myself.

#2. When baking do you use butter, margarine or something else?
I use butter.

#3. What meats or veggies do you cook in the oven?
If I’m grilling chicken, I’d throw in some potatoes, carrots and celery.

#4. Share a recipe for anything that is cooked in an oven.
I’m going to try oven-baking my own chicken fingers today . There’s no recipe for it per se. I just made it up in my head this morning. Talk about winging it!!

I’ve got 3 chicken breasts which I’ve cut into broad strips. I’ve been marinating them in salt, sugar, pepper and chilli powder for an hour now. Just before I put them in to bake, I reckon I’ll just dredge them in flour and finely-grated parmesan cheese.

Let’s see how this turns out . I’m going to serve it up with french fries. After all, it’s Friday, let’s keep lunch simple, okay, kids?

Your chicken fingers sound great. I do those all the time. I like to bread mine in panko with parmesan or crushed macadamia nuts. Mmmm

So how’d the chicken fingers come out?

Thanks for playing FFOF!
Stumbled.

@anele
I was going to make my own breadcrumbs. But the weather’s been cloudy, not fiercely sunny like it is most of the year (dang!). So I used poppy seeds instead .

@valmg
I threw in a handful of poppy seeds. So it was extra-crunchy and golden brown (forgot to snap a photo!) but too bland. I’m notorious for under-salting because I have a thing against high-sodium intake.

We ended up dipping them in some leftover brown sauce from my roast chicken the night before. So that worked out, um, not too bad .

Thanks for the stumble.

[...] Chili Queen shared a recipe for chicken fingers she concocted today and usually bakes using butter. [...]

Your chicken fingers sounds great, especially with the addition of parmesan cheese.

I never thought to add chili powder when marinating. Thanks for the tip!

@deebee
Yep, lovely smell and crunch. My kids loved it so it’s happy days .

Do you use cooking spray or a little oil to bake your chicken fingers? They sound really good, especially with some cajun seasoning or additional salt & pepper…

We make our own chicken strips too, with parmasean and bread crumbs.

That sounds really yummi I usually add a bit of parmesan and cayenne pepper when I put breadcrumbs on things. Nice to see I’m not the only one with the parmesan love.

run - out of EC, just dropping here

@elle
Yes, I do use just a drizzle of olive oil. Thanks for picking that up.

Cajun seasoning would’ve been great too but I didn’t have any around at the time, so I went with chili powder instead.

@corrin
Now that I’ve done it successfully, I’ll be making it more often .

@ami-chan
Parmesan does perk up a dish, doesn’t it?

I’ll have to try using Parmesan next time. Sounds good!

@charla
You’re gonna love it .
