Peanut Crusted Chicken Fingers Recipes

Steps:

• Separate a heavy-duty plastic freezer bag at the seams. One at a time, place chicken breasts between plastic sheets. Using a flat meat mallet or the bottom of a heavy skillet, pound each chicken breast until it is 1/4-inch thick and is approximately 6 inches wide and 8 1/2 inches long.
• In a large plastic or glass container, mix together salt, sugar, mustard, paprika, and white pepper. Add buttermilk and stir until salt is completely dissolved. Add chicken breasts, pushing down to make sure they are completely immersed in the liquid. Let marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a shallow dish, mix together breadcrumbs and peanuts. Place eggs in a second shallow dish and whisk until loose.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; top with a wire rack and set aside.
• Remove chicken from brine and shake off any excess liquid. Cut each breast into 3/4-inch-thick diagonal strips. Dip each chicken strip first in eggs then in breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat and pressing breadcrumb mixture to adhere.
• Transfer strips to rack on baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake until chicken is golden brown and juices run clear, about 20 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 475 degrees. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil; lightly oil, and set aside. In a food processor, pulse peanuts and bread until coarsely ground. Transfer to a wide rimmed medium bowl; whisk in oil, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
• In a large bowl, beat eggs; season generously with salt and pepper. Add chicken, and turn to coat. One piece at a time, dredge in peanut breading, gently pressing onto chicken; transfer to prepared baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned and just cooked through, about 15 minutes.
• While chicken is baking, cook asparagus in a large saucepan of boiling salted water until tender, 3 to 4 minutes, depending on thickness. Drain and transfer to a bowl along with butter and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper, and toss to combine. Serve chicken with asparagus.

Steps:

• Season the tenders with salt, pepper and paprika. Place in a large bowl or in a large plastic bag with a zip-lock closure. Add buttermilk, mix well and marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or for up to one day in advance refrigerated.
• Preheat the oven to 350°F and line 2 baking sheets with foil. Lightly oil the foil.
• Combine the Planter's Peanuts and the breadcrumbs in the bowl of a food processor. Process until the peanuts are finely ground. Empty into a large bowl for dipping.
• Place the flour in a separate bowl. Beat the eggs until frothy in another bowl. Working with one tender at a time, lift the fingers to drain off excess buttermilk and roll in the flour, making sure it is thoroughly coated. Transfer to the bowl with the egg and turn to coat. Roll in the Planter's Peanut mixture until completely coated. Place on the baking sheets and bake, turning once, until firm to the touch and lightly browned, 20 to 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve warm.
