How to Make Baked Chicken Fingers

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a medium glass or plastic bowl, combine 1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1-inch strips with 1 cup buttermilk.
  3. Cover and refrigerate for 10-15 minutes.
  4. In a large ziploc bag, combine 2 cups crushed corn flakes, 1 cup Italian seasoned breadcrumbs, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
  5. After chicken is chilled, drain off excess buttermilk and add chicken to the ziploc bag. Seal and shake until chicken is evenly coated.
  6. Lightly coat a shallow baking pan with 1 tablespoon olive oil.
  7. Arrange chicken in a single layer in the prepared pan.
  8. Bake for approximately 4 minutes per side, or until chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  9. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as honey mustard or light ranch dressing.
