There is no denying that chicken fingers are on every kid’s favorite foods list. While it’s easy to pop some frozen ones in the oven, it’s just as easy (and much, MUCH) tastier to make them from scratch! This Crispy Chicken recipe uses Weber® Garlic Parmesan Seasoning to add an extra burst of flavor that’s just subtle enough to make it taste unique (but not so much that kids won’t eat it)!
