My kids love chicken fingers. I can trick my 2 year old into thinking these are chicken fingers because when they are done, they look a lot like them! We rarely fry, but when we do, this is one side dish that is worth doing!
Ingredients:
20 small fresh okra pods
1 cup buttermilk
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup white cornmeal
1/8 teaspoon pepper
vegetable oil
Directions:
1. Wash Okra and trim stems.
2. Drain well and place in a shallow container.
3. Pour buttermilk over the okra in the shallow container and set aside.
4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder, salt, cornmeal and pepper.
5. Remove each okra pod from buttermilk and roll in cornmeal mixture.
6. Pour about 1 inch of oil into a deep skillet.
7. Fry okra in hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes or until browned.
8. Drain on paper towels.
9. Salt if desired.
