Instructions

Preheat the Oven: If baking, preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
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.
Season the Flour: In the flour dish, add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Coat the Chicken Strips: Dredge each chicken strip in the seasoned flour, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Dip in Eggs: Dip the floured chicken strip into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off.
Coat with Potato Chips: Press the chicken strip into the crushed potato chips, making sure to coat it thoroughly.
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.
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.
Drain Excess Oil: Remove the fried strips from the oil and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
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.
