I love these chicken fingers with assorted sauces. It's like my recipe for Minute Steak Medley and the corned beef with assorted mustards, each bite is different from the last. I know, chicken fingers are supposed to be an appetizer or snack and I've served these at more than one football party (kept warm in a crock pot), but add a salad, some oven fries, and a brownie for dessert and you've got a great meal easily made in 30 minutes or so. (Larger image.) Serves 2 as main dish.
