Southern Fried Chicken Fingers With Green Peppercorn Mayonnaise
This is another great recipe, that is easy to prepare and has a wonderful effect. I will say you need to get the chicken dished out as soon as possible to stop it from going soggy, rather than retaining its crunch. I really love the pepper mayonnaise that goes with this dish although my hubby thinks there is so much flavour with all the herbs in the chicken, he prefers it without.

Crunchy Ranch Chicken Wings
I am in yet another recipe swap this month, some months I do not know where I find the time, but they are fun. I found this one and I thought it sounded good, although there was mixed reviews from the 2 other people who had reviewed it. I thought they were excellent, I did use panko flakes instead of breadcrumbs, as I do with all recipes that require a breadcrumb coating. I much prefer these since finding them a few years back, these turned out with a crispy, crunchy outer coating and inside was so moist and tender. I served them with extra ranch on the side although it was so not needed. If you want to read more reviews or see other photos of this recipe please click here.
