Why eat one big meal when you can take bites, dipping them into sauce to make the many little pieces even more delicious? Giada De Laurentiis's Fried Chicken Fingers are an appetizer that will be a hit at your house party, loved by both adults and children. This recipe calls for tender chicken breasts cut into fingers. They'll be baked in the oven, but they'll turn out crispy, as if they were deep-fried. Pre-soak the chicken in buttermilk to make them even more tender, then coat them in a mixture of Italian herb breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese and bake in the oven at the highest temperature. These crispy chicken fingers are best served with a garlic-balsamic vinaigrette. Dip them in and you'll want more.
