Ingredients

• Vegetable oil, for frying
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• 1 large egg, beaten
• 2 cups crunchy sweetened cereal, such as Cap'n Crunch
• 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1-inch strips
• 1/2 cup ketchup
• 1/4 cup applesauce
• 2 dashes Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

1. Watch how to make this recipe.
2. Heat 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3. Put the flour in a shallow bowl and add some salt and pepper. Put the egg in a second shallow bowl. Put the cereal in a resealable plastic bag and pound into crumbs with your hands until mostly broken up with some bigger pieces. Transfer the cereal to a third shallow bowl.
4. Dip the chicken strips first in the flour, then the egg and then the cereal. Cook the strips in batches until golden brown and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain on paper towels.
5. Stir together the ketchup, applesauce and Worcestershire sauce in a small bowl. Serve as a dip with the chicken fingers.
