A Handful of Fingers

I can't really say that I have tried every single brand of chicken fingers in our area. I can however say that my favorite is a warm and delicious Cane's finger.  They have been my #1 since opening here in Waco.  

I wish that I could find everything that I love in a great chicken finger meal - all in one place.  Unfortunately, this is not the case.  I would need to visit at least three places to get all the elements of a complete "Best Of Chicken Fingers Meal." I also love the toast at Cane's! Two big points for those items!

The new Slim Chickens restaurant on Valley Mills has entered the Waco market with some very tasty chicken fingers.  While their fingers rank behind Cane's, they are very good. 

I was more impressed by their array of sauces - some of which are blazing hot.  Their fried potatoes also get a high mark when they are served and eaten fresh.  They were still tasty after a short drive home but they did lose some crispness.   Two points for those items.

Bush's has OK Tenders (fingers) and very good rolls but they score more points for their other side dishes Slaw and Fried Okra. One point for super sides!

It would be great if there was just one place that had fantastic fingers, fabulous fries, stellar sauces, great bread and outstanding sides. Unfortunately to get it all you will have to make several stops.
