Remove each piece of chicken from the
buttermilk, and dredge through the crumbs,
pressing gently to adhere. Place on the
prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the
chicken has been used. Make sure not to crowd
your pan, if necessary use two baking sheets.
Drizzle or spoon about a tablespoon or so of
the Black Pepper Rub sauce over each chicken
finger. Lightly spray the fingers with cooking
spray or a mist of olive oil.Bake for 10-12
minutes, then gently flip using kitchen tongs
and spray the other side. Bake for 10-12
minutes more, then remove from oven and serve
with the remaining Black Pepper Rub sauce and
Greek Yogurt Ranch. Garnish with fresh cilantro
and or parsley - a lemon wedge if desired.
