"I use Gerry's recipe for Crispy Fry Batter http://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/crispy-fry-batter to make these delicious Chinese Chicken Fingers that originate from New England from what I can gather. Being from New England I thought they were available in all Chinese restaurants, but I guess not. This recipe is the closest that I can come up with that compares with the Chinese Restaurants in New England that I have enjoyed for many years, and they are delicious! "

I am happy I thought of this recipe when I decided to make shrimp and chicken to go with my Chinese fried rice. The batter is marvelous to make anything fried that you want a puffy and soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside coating, like they have in the Chinese restaurants for their chicken fingers and shrimp. I will cherish this recipe and keep it in mind!
