Everything But The Bagel Spice Chicken Fingers
I didn’t quite understand the hype around Everything But The Bagel Spice because I am not a fan of Everything Bagels. I like mine with just sesame seeds. But I quickly changed my mind once I tasted the spice, mixed with nuts. Greg thought that the spice mix would be great with fried chicken and challenged me to come up with a recipe. I created the Everything But The Bagel Spice Chicken Fingers recipe by adding just the spice mix to my bread crumb mix. It came out amazing. My picky family loved it. I will definitely be adding this to the dinner rotation.
I served the chicken fingers with a dipping sauce to take it to the next level. This is excellent as an appetizer or a main dish.

This looks really interesting! No one here except me likes everything bagels, so my spice has been languishing in the fridge. Now I can use it up.
I like to add sweet chili sauce and/or sriracha to that dipping sauce.
