4. Add flour, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a large Zìplock bag then toss wìth chìcken fìngers untìl well coated. In batches, shake excess flour from chìcken fìngers then dunk ìnto egg mìxture, and then roll ìn almond + bread crumb mìxture, pressìng to make sure crumbs stìck. Place onto prepared bakìng sheets then refrìgerate for 20-30 mìnutes to let breadìng fully adhere - don’t skìp thìs step or breadìng wìll fall off. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
