Applebee's, Omnipresent

Go to any city, in any state, and there will probably be an Applebee's, and their Chicken Fingers will kick ass. The chicken is well-seasoned, well-breaded, and consistently cooked well. That isn't to say they are the best, however; if somebody was to give me a choice between Applebee's or Seven Saint's Chicken Fingers, I'd almost certainly take Seven Saint's.

HOWEVER, I do not judge the Chicken Fingers alone. It is fundamentally necessary to judge the entire Chicken Finger trinity (with fries and BBQ sauce), and Applebee's fries are what make the combo truly worthwhile. Simply put, they are the best that the food group has to offer. The BBQ sauce is equally amazing.

Seven Saints, Champaign, Illinois

You wouldn't expect much from a bar, but these are the best damn Chicken Fingers I've ever eaten.

You only get three, but all in all it is a substantially larger meal than you could get anywhere else. These fuckers are thick, juicy, and have outstanding breading as well. Similar praise can be tossed towards their BBQ sauce, though that is a field in which it is much harder to be notable.

If there is a weakness of the combo, it is their waffle fries, they are still pretty damn good.

China House, DeKalb, Illinois

Who the hell goes to a Chinese buffet and gets Chicken Fingers?

Me.

They have no BBQ sauce or french fries, but that's some damn good chicken as part of a six dollar buffet. I will gladly pay six bucks for pocket fulls of that chicken, any day.

Rating: B-, though that score is meaningless due to being skew of the originally outlined grading scale.
