Crunchy Chicken Taco Fingers Recipe

4.5 from 67 reviews

Crunchy Chicken Taco Fingers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or meal option featuring tender chicken strips coated in flavorful taco seasoning and crispy breadcrumbs, then baked to golden perfection for a satisfying crunch.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 1 lb chicken strips

Coating

  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoons taco seasoning

Instructions

  1. Prepare the coating: In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and taco seasoning thoroughly to ensure the chicken strips will be evenly flavored and coated.
  2. Coat the chicken: Take each chicken strip and dip or roll it in the breadcrumb and taco seasoning mixture, pressing gently so the coating sticks well to the chicken.
  3. Bake the chicken fingers: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the coated chicken strips in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy and golden brown. Flip the strips halfway through baking for even crispiness.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, spray the coated chicken strips lightly with cooking spray before baking.
  • Serve with your favorite dipping sauces such as salsa, guacamole, or sour cream.
  • You can substitute regular breadcrumbs with gluten-free breadcrumbs if needed.
  • Ensure chicken strips are cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
