Lime Fried Chicken Fingers

Finger food is the best, isn't it? Eating chicken when it's already cut into strips is much more satisfying than having to cut a large cutlet with a fork and knife. These fried chicken strips can be sided with a salad or potatoes, or dipped in a sauce of your liking. The kids will enjoy it too!
