Crispy Dorito-Coated Chicken Strips
Want to bring some crunch and bold flavor to your dinner table? These Dorito-crusted chicken tenders are a fun, easy, and irresistible twist on classic chicken strips. Perfect for kids, adults, and snack lovers alike!
Ingredients
- 9.25 oz Doritos or one bag (any flavor you love!)
- 1 large egg
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Slice the chicken into strips, about ¾-inch thick.
- Crush the Doritos until you have about 1½ cups of crumbs. You can use a food processor or crush them in a sealed bag with a rolling pin.
- Whisk the egg and milk together in a bowl.
- Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, then coat it fully with the crushed Doritos. Press the chips onto the chicken to make sure they stick well.
- Arrange the coated strips on a foil-lined baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
- Bake for 15-17 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
- Serve immediately with ranch, sour cream, or your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Pro Tips for the Best Crunch:
- Try spicy Doritos for an extra kick!
- Use Cool Ranch Doritos for a zesty flavor twist.
- Don't skip the cooking spray—it helps the coating crisp up perfectly.
- Want extra crunch? Double coat the chicken by dipping it back into the egg and Dorito crumbs before baking!
