Description

Potato Chip Chicken Strips are crispy, savory, and absolutely delicious. With a golden exterior from the potato chip coating and a tender, juicy interior, they’re perfect for a satisfying snack or quick meal. Whether baked or fried, they’re sure to be a family favorite.


Ingredients

1 pound chicken breast, cut into strips

2 cups potato chips, crushed

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon paprika

Salt and pepper to taste

Oil for frying (vegetable or canola)


Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Coating Station: Set up three shallow dishes: one for the flour, one for the beaten eggs, and one for the crushed potato chips.
  3. Season the Flour: In the flour dish, add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  4. Coat the Chicken Strips: Dredge each chicken strip in the seasoned flour, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  5. Dip in Eggs: Dip the floured chicken strip into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off.
  6. Coat with Potato Chips: Press the chicken strip into the crushed potato chips, making sure to coat it thoroughly.
  7. Prepare for Cooking: If baking, place the coated chicken strips on the lined baking sheet. If frying, heat oil in a deep frying pan over medium-high heat.
  8. Cook the Chicken: For baking, cook in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until golden brown and fully cooked. For frying, cook the strips for 4-5 minutes per side, or until crispy and cooked through.
  9. Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried strips from the oil and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
  10. Serve Immediately: Serve the Potato Chip Chicken Strips hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.

Notes

For a spicier kick, add cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the seasoning mix.

For a healthier option, bake the chicken strips instead of frying them.

For a sweet and savory twist, drizzle honey over the cooked strips.

You can use other types of chips, such as BBQ or sour cream and onion, for a different flavor profile.

To freeze, coat the uncooked chicken strips and freeze them on a baking sheet before transferring to a freezer bag.
