Amazing

Fried chicken. It's so simple, yet quite good. The hint of lime really makes this one.

I look forward to making this one soon.

Love chicken

I love chicken and this looks like a delicious and easy recipe for chicken fingers. I'm just imagining all the different dips this would be scrumptious with.

Enjoyed it

As soon as I saw this recipe I had to make it. I wasn't disappointed the chicken was terrific. I have added this recipe to my personal cookbook and look forward to making it again and again .

Peanut oil necessary?

Did everyone who has tried this recipe use the peanut oil? Dawn, does it make a big difference if I use canola or vegetable oil for frying?

Oils for Frying

You can use other oils. Peanut oil just has a higher smoke point (which just means you can bring it to a higher temperature without burning it).

However, canola, vegetable, or even grapeseed oil will work fine. Just make sure you don't go past 375° D.

Nice and crispy!

We just had this for dinner with homemade mac and cheese.....yummy comfort food!! I only marinated it for about 5 - 6 hours. It would probably have been even better over night, but was still very flavourful. I might try this with chicken strips and maybe a blue sheese dip or similar. This one is a keeper for when the kids have friends over....thanks.

Great Idea with Chicken Strips

Leftovers are also great. We used to make this when we catered in the film industry and it was always a hit. The next morning we made quesadillas with any leftovers and people went crazy...including myself.

Chicken strips and blue cheese...sounds delicious! Thanks Patricia
