"Chicken fingers” are pieces of chicken, usually breaded and shaped like human fingers. They are not actual “chicken fingers,” but that’s been the subject of some humor.

Wikipedia: Chicken fingers
Chicken fingers, also known as chicken tenders, chicken goujons, chicken strips or chicken fillets, are chicken meat prepared from the pectoralis minor muscles of the animal. These strips of white meat are located on either side of the breastbone, under the breast meat, sometimes just pulverized chicken flesh. (pectoralis major). They may also be made with similarly shaped pieces cut from chicken meat, usually the breast.
Chicken fingers are prepared by coating chicken meat in a breading mixture and then deep frying them, in a manner similar to the preparation of Schnitzel. Chicken fingers are a common snack in the U.S..

Considering one is the size of my whole hand, chicken fingers leave me with the impression that chickens are 7 to 8 feet tall.
