Chicken fingers and 1/2 cup of EPIC FAIL

So this week I intended to make the non-flambe version of Bananas Foster. I didn't know Bananas Foster existed until last Tuesday, and now I really want some. I found a good recipe, but I'm not 21 yet, and neither are my roommates, so I wasn't able to procure any rum. I will have to wait one of my roommates turns 21 in the following two weeks, or until I turn 21 a little further down April. Woohoo.

Anyway, I settled on tasty chicken fingers for this week. This is another recipe I found in the back of the Bisquick box - God bless it - and was easier to make than I thought.

Ingredients
2 boneless chicken breasts cut in quarters
2/3 cup of Bisquick
1/2 teaspoon of paprika
1/2 teaspoon of salt or garlic salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
3 tablespoons butter, melted

Preheat the oven to 450 F. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and grease it.

In a gallon storage bag, mix the Bisquick, the paprika, the Parmesan cheese and the salt. Shake it up (this is a lot of fun.)

To make the chicken fingers tastier, I marinated the chicken in my tasty and aforementioned Chardonnay Herb marinade for a few hours. I cut the chicken in quarters and dipped them in the beaten egg. Then I dropped the fingers from the first chicken breast inside the storage bag and sealed the bag.

Now it's time to play. Shake up the bag again. And more. Let the chicken roll. Move its contents around until the chicken is completely coated in the powdery mix. Do the same with the chicken strips/fingers from the other chicken breast.

Place the fingers on the sheet and drizzle with the melted butter. Of course. You didn't think this was actually healthy, did you?

Bake for about 14 minutes to make sure the chicken is not pink when you take it out of the oven. Make sure you flip the fingers at about half time so both sides cook well.

Here is me taking the sheet out of the oven as my roommate Katharine, um, eggs me on.




I also made a biscuit with Bisquick to accompany my chicken (you can see it in the video). They actually tasted good. Yum.

I should be Bisquick's spokeswoman. I wonder if they're hiring.

Oh, yes, recession. Probably not.

This week's groceries

1. 1 can of apple raspberry juice - ?
   
2. 7,000 Lean Cuisines - ?
   

Total = I can't find my receipt

P.S. I already had all the ingredients, pretty much.
