How to Make Country Fried Pig Fingers

  1. Cut 1 lb pork tenderloin into 12 (or 24 for appetizers) finger-shaped pieces.
  2. In a bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp paprika, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp black pepper, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper (optional).
  3. Dip each pork finger into the flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
  4. In a shallow dish, beat 2 large eggs with 2 tbsp milk.
  5. Dip each floured pork finger into the egg mixture.
  6. Place the breaded pork fingers in another shallow dish containing 1 cup bread crumbs.
  7. Gently press the bread crumbs onto the pork fingers to coat evenly.
  8. Heat 1/2 cup vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  9. Carefully place the pork fingers in the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.
  10. Fry for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 145°F).
  11. Remove the pork fingers from the skillet and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
  12. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
