Buffalo Chicken Fingers & Parmesan Roasted Potatoes

We have literally been on the go every day for the past few weeks and when we get home the last thing I want to do is cook a complicated dinner. This was a quick and delicious dinner that we just recently had. Sometimes simplicity is key. We had these chicken fingers and potatoes with some fresh strawberries and kiwi.

We cooked both recipes in the oven at the same time. The potato dish will take slightly longer than the chicken, so make sure to add those first.
