To be finger licking good means that the food one just ate was very tasty. You literally lick your fingers so as not to waste even one spot of the tasty food! It is not just kids who do this, but grown-up adults too!
Note: generally the word licking is given as lickin' - with an apostrophe after 'n' and without the 'g'.
