Ingredients
Chicken Tenders
- 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts patted dry
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup Honey Barbecue potato chips crushed
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- vegetable oil
Dipping Sauce
- ½ cup ketchup
- 1 tablespoon Sriracha
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts into strips approximately ½-inch wide. Season strips liberally with salt and pepper.
- Add the flour to a medium bowl. Add the eggs to another medium bowl. And add the panko, potato chips, salt, and pepper together in another medium bowl.
- Dip each strip in the flour, shake off the excess, dip in the egg wash, and then dip in the potato chip mix, turning to coat completely. Place on a baking sheet until ready to cook.
- Place a large skillet over medium-high heat and add about 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil.
- Once the oil is simmering add some of the chicken strips to the pan, do not overcrowd. Sear without moving until the chicken tenders are golden brown and then flip to cook other side. Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes per side.
- Once fingers are done cooking transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Continue cooking the rest of the chicken tenders until they are all done. Be sure to add more oil as needed.
- Combine ketchup and sriracha in and bowl and serve with hot chicken strips.
Notes
- Regular barbecue chips could also be used, or feel free to mix it up with plain or salt & vinegar.
- How To Store: Store any leftover Potato Chip Chicken Strips in a Ziploc bag or airtight container in the refrigerator. Eat them within 3-4 days!
- Can I Bake The Chicken Instead Of Frying It? You sure can! Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F and prepare the chicken according to the recipe instructions. Then place the coated chicken on a wire rack in a baking dish and bake for 25 to 30 minutes. If you don’t have a wire rack for baking you can just place the chicken strips on a parchment-lined baking sheet and flip the chicken over halfway through baking.
- What Can I Add To This Recipe To Give It A Spicy Kick? Try adding cayenne pepper to the potato chip crumb mixture. Just add as much or as little as you’d like according to the amount of heat you’re looking for.
