My son and I have been binge watching the latest season of Locke & Key on Netflix. We have literally been waiting years to catch season 2, thanks to the pandemic. Let me just say, if you have older teens, this does not disappoint.
I wanted to make something quick, but also something we could watch while binging episodes. Half-Baked Harvest's Potato Chip Chicken fits the bill. It couldn't be any easier, it's kid-friendly, it's delicious, and it's perfect for dipping and dunking while you watch TV.
All you need to do is dip chicken tenders in melted butter, then coat them in a finely crushed combo of cornflakes and potato chips and bake! I love the idea of using various kinds of chips: tortilla chips, BBQ chips, sour cream n' onion chips...you name it!
We loved these potato chip chicken tenders served with some steamed broccoli and some super cheesy and comforting au gratin potatoes. The potato chips give the chicken a light and flaky crispety-crunchety delicious flavor. They are SO GOOD! This is one of those meals that will go on repeat!
Potato Chip Chicken
Adapted from Half-Baked Harvest Cookbook
by Tieghan Gerard
Serves 6
1/2 cup (1 stick) salted butter, melted
2 cups finely crushed potato chips
1 cup finely crushed cornflakes
2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken tenders
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
freshly ground pepper
Preheat the oven to 375F. Put the melted butter in a shallow medium bowl. Put the potato chip and cornflake crumbs in a separate shallow medium bowl and stir to combine.
Working with one piece at a time, dip the chicken in the butter, allowing the excess to drip off, then dredge through the potato chip-cornflake crumbs, pressing gently to adhere. Place the coated chicken on a baking sheet as you work. Season with seasoned salt and pepper.
Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the crumbs are golden and the chicken is cooked through. Serve warm.
I remember doing a similar recipe when ny kids were at that age. Loos great
ReplyDeleteIt's helpful to have backup recipes like this for days you don't want a big production. One look on the crunchy crispy exterior, I'm sold!
