About Chicken Strips

Chicken strips, also known as chicken tenders or chicken fingers, are an easy appetizer you can make with chicken. The recipe is very simple, all the flavors come from the mixture of spices that we prepare. You can add all the seasonings and spices to a blender and blend a few times until everything comes together. Divide them between wet and dry coatings. This coating makes the chicken strips super tender, flavorful and juicy.

I made this yesterday and it became my favorite. This was so easy to make, but the taste is just fantastic. It’s so healthy because you cook them and the chicken was so juicy. I served it with pickle mayonnaise, I am recently addicted to these pickles, they are so delicious, I can’t stop eating them by themselves.

When I was looking for a dip to serve this with, I thought about making a pickle mayonnaise with red pepper sauce and a little sugar to balance out all the acidity. It turned out delicious.
