These were very tasty. They will have a regular spot in our meal plan. I have a relatively high tolerance for spicy foods and I thought they were good. Definitely spicy and probably too spicy for many folks. But we loved them. The only thing I had issues with was that the bread crumbs (I used dried bread crumbs) didn't really stick to the chicken as much as I would have liked. Next time I'll probably dip the chicken in some egg to help the crumbs stick better.

Very spicy, but I loved them. I'm used to cajun spices though....live close to Louisiana, and often cook with lots of spice! I made these exactly as directed. Next time I will probably leave out the breadcrumbs and use flour breading instead. I felt the breadcrumbs detracted from the wonderful seasonings on the chicken. Served with tabasco sauce!

These were some of the best chicken fingers I have ever eatten! I made 2 batches - 1 with 1/2tsp cayenne pepper and 1/8tsp of each pepper. The other I left out all 3 peppers (DH is hot food wimp). For both batches I used Corn Flake crumbs rather than bread crumbs. Both were fantastic. I will make again, often. Thanks for sharing. Made for ZWT5 Groovy GastroGnomes
