Chicken fingers

Chicken fingers, also known as chicken tenders, chicken strips, or chicken fillets, are a common type of fried chicken dish. They are made from the pectoralis minor muscles of the chicken, which are located directly under the breast meat.

Pronunciation

Chicken fingers: /ˈtʃɪkɪn ˈfɪŋɡərz/

Etymology

The term "chicken fingers" is believed to have originated in the United States in the late 20th century. The name is derived from the shape of the dish, which resembles a human finger.

Preparation and Serving

Chicken fingers are typically breaded and fried, although they can also be baked or grilled. They are often served with a side of french fries and a variety of dipping sauces, such as barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing.
