    Nice and moist - however the smell of the cornflakes destroys it for me. I guess my daughters didn't crush it fine enough. They did a great job with the honey mustard. All is good except for the cornflake crust for me. Easy recipe though. Thanks

    I marinated my chicken in buttermilk, 1 teaspoon each Mrs. Dash Salt-Free Chipotle Southwestern spice and 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning and freshly ground pepper for 2 hours in the fridge. I also threw some of those spices in the breadcrumbs, and cooked as directed. The chicken was incredible!! It was SO tender & juicy! I had mine with fat free ranch dressing & I made the honey dijon for my husband (although I tasted it and it was really good! - either way, this was fabulous! Hubby USED to be addicted to a certain fast-food chain's chicken nuggests...he said I ruined him forever!! He said he'll NEVER get fast-food, unhealthy chicken nuggests again!! Mission accomplished! I made onion rings with buttermilk and the seasoned bread crumbs out of one half an onion & baked them for 13 minutes at 400 F with the chicken on a separate sheet pan. They were awesome!!

    Yum!! Made this last night for dinner! My kids who have eaten their fare share of chicken fingers loved them sooo much, and so did I. Although my husband was apprehensive about me cooking chicken fingers for dinner as he knows are kids picky about their favorites, he ended up relaxing enjoying this meal greatly once are kids were happy. I tweeked the recipe slightly, adding paprika and poultry seasoning to the buttermilk and substituting 1.5 cups of the crushed corn chex with panko as i didnt have enough (it turned out delicious. Also, my family is not a big fan of condiments so i decided to not make the sauce, so i cant judge on that. Anyways, I paired this dish with oven fries and steamed broccoli, and it was definitely a hit. Infact my kids requested this chicken again tonight!

    So yummy and really satisfied my chicken fingers craving. I loved the crunchiness of the corn chex crumbs. I can't believe how few calories this has! However, I do think the sauce recipe needs some tweaking. It was only okay in my opinion, a little bit bitter and it didn't really capture the familiar taste of the honey-mustard sauce they usually serve at the fast food joints. But the chicken fingers did capture this fast food taste, and were even more delicious and not as disgustingly greasy.

    These were great! Made them for my parents tonight, my dad says "Are we really having chicken fingers...?", but he ate almost 10 fingers! I added cajun seasoning to the buttermilk which made the chicken have a great kick. To save on calories with the mustard sauce, I simply mixed dijion mustard with honey.

    My picky toddler absolutely loved it. I added a little more honey to the sauce to cut down on the "bite" of the mustard. Looking forward to the leftovers!

    It is way more than two can eat, my husband and I loved it!
    I did take some suggestions from other comments on this sight and soaked the chicken in buttermilk, crushed garlic and honey mustard. I also used the food processor to grind the corn chex, Italian seasoning, cracked pepper and parmesan cheese. I also placed the chicken on a wire rack that I placed in the baking sheet. The chicken fingers came out very crispy and tasty. I baked the chicken in a convection oven at 400 for 20 minutes. Everyone has different tastes. the Honey mustard sauce was great, however, my husband said he would like it sweeter the next time, so I'll just add another Tablespoon of honey!
