Korean BBQ Baked Chicken Fingers

Korean BBQ Baked Chicken Fingers are a simple and savory gluten free meal to make any night of the week!

We need to ask.

“Where is the first place you want to go once quarantine is over?”

Our initial answer a few weeks ago was somewhere international. Now, we all want to do is walk down the street to get a mani/pedi hopefully for Mother’s Day. Our how a little pandemic can shrink your world. Ha!

But we will say we do find it interesting that airlines are going to require masks while on the plane and there will be NO middle seats available. Why did it take a pandemic to get rid of the middle seat? Being mashed between two people in a sardine sized tin can is just wrong. Honestly, we hope it sticks for awhile because we have some travel to do in July.

Anyway, we hope you had a fantastic weekend. The weather here in Denver has been memorable. We do need to do some planting this week because our porch is looking at little sad town. We think we are the only people on the block that doesn’t have their front porch in order because we have been trying to finish up our upstairs remodel. YOU GUYS. We are so close!

Maybe we should distract our neighbors with a lovely delivery of some Korean BBQ Baked Chicken Fingers? We don’t know why we haven’t jumped on the kitchen-made chicken fingers bandwagon until now. They are so freaking savory and simple to mix.

Ingredients to make Korean BBQ Baked Chicken Fingers:

– Korean BBQ or favorite barbecue sauce

– Chicken tenders

– Panko breadcrumbs

Crazy simple, huh? Another reason why we love this recipe is it’s made in the oven instead of frying. Don’t get us wrong we love fried foods, but cleaning up all the oil, etc. is something we just don’t have time to do.

With recipe, all you do is assemble and bake! It makes our OCD self so happy! Give these a try and let us know what you think!
