When ever I make these up for the freezer they are the first things we run out of. There is just something about finger foods that make them easy to pull out and serve. They have the added bonus that go on the road well if needed.
Use a variety of dipping sauces, BBQ, sweet-n-sour, ketchup, ranch, buffalo, salsa, cheese sauce, ect to add to the fun.
Chicken Fingers, Beef Fingers, Pork FingersThis is kind of an assembly line process. Cut the meat, chicken breasts, tenderized round steak and pork chips trimmed of fat, into finger-strips.
Take some mayo, dijonaise, or miracle whip and place into a bowl. Don’t over do it as you have to throw away anything that is left over. Do not put what is left in the bowl back in the jar, that can add up to food poisoning!
Brush the fingers with mayo and toss with bread crumbs. Line fingers on a baking sheet.
Bake at 350F, about 10-15 minutes, depending on thickness of meat. Do not over or under cook.
Cool and store in zip lock bags.
Reheat in microwave (1 minute if thawed, adding time if needed) or oven, 350F 10-15 minutes.
Oven Fried Chicken LegsBrush chicken legs with Ranch salad dressing (one of the flavored Ranch Dressings like the Three Cheese variety is good too). Toss to coat in a mixture of 1/2bread crumbs, 1/2parmasean cheese.
Line on a baking sheet, bake 350F, 20 minutes or so.
Cool, store in zip lock bags.
Reheat in microwave (1 1/2minute if thawed, adding time if needed) or oven, 350F 10-15 minutes.
Meat Balls on a stickTake your favorite ground meat, about 1 lb. Add 1/2C crumbs, 1 egg, a generous squirt of ranch salad dressing and 1/4C parmesan cheese. Mix well.
Make ping pong ball sized meat balls. Thread two or three meat balls on a bamboo skewer (look in the grilling department or Asian food section). Line skewers on a baking dish (with a lip to catch any juices). Bake 350F 15-20 minutes, until cooked through.
Cool, store in zip lock bags.
Reheat in microwave (1 1/2minute if thawed, adding time if needed) or oven, 350F 10-15 minutes
