Ingredients for Zaxby’s Chicken Fingers Recipe

Directions

Step 1. Prepare Chicken:

• Take the skinless boneless chicken breasts and cut them into beautiful ½ inch pieces.
• Find a shallow dish and pour the buttermilk in it. Let your chicken soak in the buttermilk and place in the refrigerator.

Step 2. Prepare Breading:

• Find a deep frying pan and pour the oil in it. Heat it to welcome the chicken fingers.
• Then take a nice bowl, enough to accommodate the breading components. Add bread crumbs, cornflakes, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning in this bowl and give them a mix to work them together to get a breeding mixture.
• Then find the small brother of the bowl and beat the egg in it.
• Spread the all-purpose flour in a shallow dish.

Step 3. Fry:

• Take your buttermilk soaked chicken fingers and dredge them in the flour. Then dip in the egg, and dredge in the breadcrumbs mixture.
• Sizzle the chicken in the hot oil and wait for 7-8 minutes. 
• Then take out and drain on paper towels. 
• Love extra crisp? Let the fingers cool a little bit to allow them to get the crisp.
• Zaxby’s chicken fingers are ready. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce. Bon Appetit!

Expert Tips for Perfection 

• One thing I recommend to make sure is that you fry and serve immediately. If you are even a few minutes late, it will dull the texture and sizzle of the chicken fingers.
• If you love tender and juicier chicken, marinate the chicken for at least 2 hours. It’s worth it.
• Let the chicken enjoy its time in the frying pan by frying in small batches that do not suffocate the chicken.
• If you are using a dipping sauce, use it chilled to complement the sizzling chicken fingers.
