About Chicken Strips 

Chicken strips also known as chicken tenders or chicken fingers is an easy appetizer which you can make using chicken. The recipe is very easy, all the flavours come from the spice mix which we make. You can add all the seasonings and spices in a blender and pulse few times so it combines. Divide them between the wet and dry coatings. This coating makes the chicken strips super tender, flavourful and juicy. 

I made this yesterday and it has become my favourite. It was so easy to make, but the taste is just fantastic. It is so healthy because you are baking them and the chicken was so juicy. I served it with gherkin mayonnaise, I am recently addicted to this gherkin they are so delicious, cannot stop eating them all by themselves.

When i was looking for a dipping sauce to serve this with, i thought of making a gherkin mayo with red chilli sauce and some sugar to balance all the tartness. It turned out yummy.
