I am a sucker for a good ol' crispy chicken fingers and this recipe satisfies allll my cravings! This recipe is great for a lazy afternoon and keeps ya full for hours!
This recipe is Paleo, Whole30, GF, Df & Keto

I love using my air fryer to make them extra crispy but you can totally bake these in the oven!
One of the great things about this chicken finger recipe is that you can add any flavour you want in the flour to customize them! I love adding in primal kitchen buffalo seasoning (buy it here)
Also if you're like me and love a good ranch & buffalo mix, I highly recommend this buffalo sauce and this ranch dressing for the optimal dip!
