  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees (F) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.

  7. Transfer the chicken fingers to a platter and keep warm.
  8. Add the dipping sauce ingredients to a food processor and process on high for 30 seconds or until the sauce is smooth. Serve the sauce along with the chicken fingers.
