Yesterday was Halloween and my mother in law always makes chili for everyone to eat. The kids don’t like chili and I had some chicken to be used in the fridge, so Little Man and I decided to make some chicken fingers together.
He helped out by crushing the corn flakes, mixing the spices in and he actually helped coat one piece of chicken. That really surprised me. I know my daughter wouldn’t have touched the raw chicken. He didn’t want to do more than one piece, though, because it was too slippery. I’ll be remaking this recipe and posting it next week. The chicken fingers were a huge hit last night and my husband told me I can only make homemade chicken fingers from now on.
