Doritos Chicken Tenders
Crunchy on the outside tender on the inside, these Doritos chicken tenders will be a family favorite. Chicken, eggs, milk, and a seasoned flour batter all comes together to make an amazing snack or meal.
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders or boneless chicken breast, cut into strips
- 1 ½ cups Nacho Cheese Doritos crushed
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper. Lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- Crush the Doritos into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and crushing them with a rolling pin. Mix in the breadcrumbs.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs with milk.
- In another bowl, mix the garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Rub this seasoning onto the chicken strips.
- Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, then coat it evenly with the crushed Doritos mixture.
- Arrange the coated chicken strips on the tray and bake for 18–22 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- Instead of Nacho Cheese Doritos, you can use Cool Ranch or any of your favorite flavor.
- The breadcrumbs will help add some extra crunch to the tenders but you can leave them out if you want.
