Ranch Chicken Fingers

A packet of ranch seasoning mix gives extra flavor to chicken fingers and makes them seem like an extra special treat. Dip them in Ranch dressing for a double dose of Ranch deliciousness!

Ranch Mix

I love to have packets of Hidden Valley Ranch Mix on hand. Besides the fact that they make just about the best ranch dressing imaginable, they can be used to season up almost anything you cook. In addition to perking up chicken strips, they also do a great job at seasoning potato wedges.

These Ranch Chicken Fingers develop a super crispy coating as they fry that has plenty of seasoning. The chicken meat stays tender and moist.

How To Make Ranch Chicken Fingers

The chicken tenders are first coated in flour mixed with some of the ranch seasoning. Then they are dipped in egg and coated in panko crumbs mixed with ranch seasoning.

About 8 minutes in some hot oil and you have chicken tenders the whole family will enjoy.

Recipe Tip

The leftover ranch mix can be mixed with a combination of buttermilk and mayonnaise to make a ranch dip to dunk them in. You can never get enough ranch flavor!
