- 2 large eggs
- Vegetable oil

What to Do

- Combine flour and next 3 ingredients in a large shallow dish.
- Whisk together buttermilk, 3/4 cup barbecue sauce, and eggs in a bowl. Dredge chicken pieces in flour mixture; dip in buttermilk mixture, and dredge again in flour mixture. (If flour gets gummy, just press into chicken pieces.)

Notes
For a delicious alternative to chicken fingers, use this recipe with pork chops. Just substitute 3 pounds boneless breakfast pork chops for chicken, and proceed as directed. Serve cooked chops in biscuits, if desired.
