Perfectly crispy chicken fingers can be made without even deep-frying, and they're just as delicious as fried chicken fingers, but contain much less fat. Slice the chicken into thin strips, dip them in an egg mixture with curry powder, then coat them in spiced breadcrumbs, spray with a little cooking spray, and bake in the oven until they're golden brown. For extra crispiness, use panko breadcrumbs; they're larger and fluffier, perfect for the crust. Serve the chicken fingers with steamed broccoli and a side of curry-flavored ketchup. They're a perfect healthy appetizer for watching the game, watching movies, or just for a house party.
