About Canes chicken finger

Cane’s Chicken Finger is a signature menu item from Raising Cane’s, a popular American fast-food chain specializing in fried chicken. Originating in Louisiana in 1996, Cane’s Chicken Fingers are crispy, deep-fried pieces of chicken breast typically served with crinkle-cut fries, coleslaw, Texas toast, and Cane’s proprietary dipping sauce.
