Chicken fingers are my favorite “kids menu” item at restaurants, and yes I still get them sometimes 🙂 Now that I have Leila, I totally won’t feel awkward asking for things off the kids menu anymore. I like my chicken fingers salty and crunchy. That’s why I love this baked pretzel chicken fingers recipe! It is really easy to make, and a big winner with adults and kids alike. Instead of frying the chicken fingers in oil, I bake them, so they are healthier. Even though these pretzel chicken fingers are baked instead of fried, they are still really crunchy! They are most delicious when nice and hot out of the oven.
For this pretzel chicken fingers recipe, I used Foster Farms Organic Chicken Breasts. I was excited to hear about the launch of this chicken in major grocery stores, because the chicken is California grown and family-owned, free-range, non-GMO and American Humane Certified. It is also free of injected sodium enhancers, additives and preservatives. Since having a baby, it is more important than ever for me to know where my food is coming from and the practices behind the preparation.
If you live in the Bay Area, you can find Foster Farms Organic Chicken Breasts in Safeway stores. Foster Farms is demoing the new line at Safeway stores on weekends March 2 – May 8.
