Instructions:
- Place chicken in a bowl with 2 cups of the Lactantia® Lactose Free Milk and ½ tsp of salt. Cover and let marinate for 2-4 hours

- Add in the remaining 2 cups of Lactantia® Lactose Free Milk slowly, whisking as you add to remove lumps. Cook for another 3-5 minutes.

- Starting with the flour, coat the chicken strips in the flour, then the egg, and finally in the seasoned flour.
- Fry in the deep fryer until the chicken strips are cooked through. These can also be baked in a 375°F oven for 25 minutes, turning them once.
- Once the chicken fingers are cooked, arrange them on 4 plates. Serve with carrots, celery and the ramequin of Lactose Free dipping sauce.
