I halved the recipe and made this to stuff a pita as a meal for myself.Still in two minds to give this 4 or 5 stars. The reason for that is that the chicken pieces had a less spiced flavour then I expected. The curried mayonaise was definately a winner, it lifted the flavours, and the added cashews gave it nice texture...

These are very good and super easy. I'd enjoy them even better with a little heat added, and I'd probably add a little cayenne the next time. Very nice entry for RSC!

Their were approximately 200 recipes submitted for the RSC Winter 2005 contest and this recipe was my third choice to make and review. This recipe is absolutely, positively 5 STAR! I would not be surprised if MacDonald or Berger King gives you a call in the near future! I plan on making this appetizer again... Thank you!

Lovely!!! We loved the curry taste and the crunch of the cashews-the curry mayo added some extra zing.This would be a tasty addition to a finger-food platter and we'll definitely make them again.

Mmmm these were so good the two of us devoured them in one sitting! Very rich with the cashew coating and a nice bite from the curry. Just one little goof up, the pepper should have been added to the first ingredients to be combined for the coating. The instructions say to combine the first 7 ingredients, it should have been the first 8 to include the pepper as it is not mentioned anywhere else to add. In any case they are delicious and the instructions were easy to figure out and follow. I put them together in the morning and left them in the fridge 'til supper time, also made the sauce early, it had time to mellow. Can see why these made the finals, very good, thanks for a good one and good luck in the contest.

I think we have a winner here. This stays crunchier if the cashews are crushed, as with a mallet leaving small pieces of nuts, and not ground, as with a food processor. (I experimented with both.) I tried some of the chicken with the final drizzle of butter and some without. The butter also helps to make the coating crisp and encourages it to brown so it shouldn't be skipped unless you're willing to sacrifice appearance and some crunch. The curry mayonnaise was very pleasant. I liked being able to prepare this early in the day and then just pop it in the oven in the evening.

We enjoyed this chicken dish last night for supper. The chicken itself was average, but the sauce was superb. We just loved the taste!

Nice, simple recipe for a busy day. The taste was nice but the chicken was much milder in flavor than expected from the coating ingredients. And I did not find in the instructions what to do with the ground black pepper. I made 7 chicken tenders and while the flour mixture and egg were fine, I needed an extra 1/3C of crushed cashews to coat them all. The curry mayonnaise is quite flavorful and goes very well with the chicken. I did forget the lemon juice in the mayonnaise but it was fine. I'm sure we will be eating this again. Thanks.

The curry mayonnaise would have been nice with a bit of mustard and honey added to it. I found the flour mixture to be twice the amount I needed and the cashews I was short on so I added the remaining flour to the cashews to make to coat all the pieces. I did refrigerate the breaded chicken and it did adhere with no problem while baking. Crunchy and full of flavor. Quick and easy.

These were good, we followed the recipe exactly. I felt that the only problem was that the chicken fingers dried out a bit in the oven. Everyone agreed that they would have been amazing had they been fried in oil. I also thought that they tasted better the next day, cold from the fridge.
