FINGER FOOD



After a very lazy Sunday afternoon, the only thing we felt like eating last night was delicious comfort food that required no forks - chicken fingers and sweet potato fries. We've made both in other settings, but this was their debut as a pair. We also picked up some new barbecue sauce and made honey mustard and a balsamic sauces for glorious dipping.

The chicken fingers included:
- chicken breast
- panko
- egg
- garlic powder
- dried oregano
- wasabi powder
- sesame seeds
- smoked paprika
- salt
- pepper

And the sweet potato fries were simple as always with:
- sweet potatoes
- tandori spice mix

The chicken fingers could have probably baked a little longer, but I was worried about over cooking. The result was nice and juicy, but the panko probably wasn't as crisp as I would have liked. The sauces were good with the exception of the mustard. I think our honey mustard was old or something. We didn't end up using it. The new barbecue, some New Orleans variety according to the bottle, was delicious. The balsamic was very tart, but it gave us another flavor.

Ah. Sunday. Thank you for facilitating my need to be lazy.
