Answer 1

After dredging in egg, you can use any of the following...
*crushed potato chips(BBQ or sour cream/onion)
*crushed cereal(cap'n crunch, corn flakes, etc)
*packet dry instant mashed potato flakes
*stovetop stuffing mix
*grated parmesan cheese from the can
OR
toast your sliced bread till pretty hard and put in blender or food processor and gve it a pulse or two, mix with spices and go!

If you have at least one of these items in your pantry, you are as good as gold!

Answer 2

Either way comes out delicious. Breadcrumbs may be easier, as they don't require as much, if any, seasoning like flour does. For perfectly coated, crispy, tender, chicken fingers, pork chops, etc., I use this method: Put about a half cup of flour in an empty pie tin, and season with salt & pepper. In second pie tin, beat 1 or 2 eggs with some water. In a third pie tin, add a cup of seasoned breadcrumbs. flour the chicken strips lightly, then coat with egg, and then breadcrumbs. Fry until golden brown on both sides, and allow to drain and cool on a wire rack above a baking sheet. You can adjust the amounts according to how much you need to prepare. Just discard the pie tins when finished.

Dip the chicken in egg whites and then roll them in the spice mixture and bake them following the intructions on the boz and volia'! Yummy ranch chicken strips. Oh, and for enough to feed my neice and I we use 2 packets of the dressing mix. Enjoy!

Easy Chicken Fingers

1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts
2 teaspoons cajun seasoning
1 1/2 cups crushed corn flakes
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 cup cooking oil

Cut the chicken breasts into 1" strips; sprinkle them with the Cajun seasoning.
Combine the corn flakes and flour in a shallow bowl.
Pour the oil into another shallow bowl.
Dip the chicken strips into the oil, then coat them with the corn flake mixture.
Place the strips in a foil-lined baking pan.
(I use a 9x13).
Bake at 400 degrees for 10 minutes, then turn each strip and bake for another 10 minutes.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce!

Answer 6

Crumble the bread into crumbs and toast them in the oven for about ten minutes to dry them out.

Or you can use crushed cornflakes
Or crushed potato chips
Or crushed corn chips

Just use them like you would breadcrumbs
