My mom introduced this amazing recipe from https://www.acedarspoon.com/baked-chicken-fingers-2/ to me a few months ago, and it is AMAZING!!! We literally make it at least once a week! We tweaked it slightly….so I have included the link to the original recipe above and our version below. This is my first recipe post…so please give me grace!
