Best 3 Buttermilk Ranch Potato Chip Chicken Recipes

CHICKEN TENDERS WITH BUTTERMILK RANCH DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Make the brine: Combine the water, salt, sugar, bay leaf, garlic, pepper and lemon in a large stock pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce the heat and let simmer until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes.
• When done, remove from the heat, add the ice cubes and stir until the liquid is chilled. Add the buttermilk and pickle juice. Stir well then pour enough brine over the chicken tenders in a large bowl to submerge them. Cover and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• Make the seasoned flour: Combine the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well.
• Make the panko breading: Take half of the panko breadcrumbs and pulse in a food processor until fine. Combine with the remaining ingredients in a medium bowl. Mix well and set aside.
• Make the seasoning: Combine the ingredients in a small bowl, mix well and set aside.
• Prepare the chicken tenders: Remove the chicken tenders from the brine and pat dry. Set up a breading station with the seasoned flour, egg wash and panko breading. Working with 1 or 2 tenders at a time, lightly coat in the seasoned flour, dip in the egg wash, then place in the panko breading. Cover the tender in the breading then firmly press the tender flat with your palm to an even 1/4 inch thick. Flip and press again as needed to achieve even thickness and breading.
• Preheat 3 to 4 inches of oil in a Dutch oven to 350 degrees F. Working in batches, fry the chicken tenders, turning occasionally, until golden brown all over and cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from the oil to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season the tenders evenly all over with the seasoning and serve with the dipping sauce.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the ingredients until well combined and creamy in texture. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, up to 5 days.

POTATO CHIP CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400°.
• In a large bowl whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. Add in the chicken tenders, toss and set off to the side.
• In the bowl of your food processor; add 6 ounces of original kettle-cooked potato chips. Blend until fine crumbs form. Pour the chip crumbs into a shallow bowl and season with the paprika, garlic and onion powder.
• Repeat the same with the jalapeno kettle chips. Pour the crumbs into another shallow bowl and season with a quarter teaspoon of black pepper.
• Set up your breading station starting from left to right: chicken tenders then chip crumbs then a rimmed baking sheet with either a baking rack set inside or lined with parchment paper.
• One at a time, remove a chicken tender letting the excess buttermilk/egg mixture drip back into the bowl. Dredge the tender into the original chip crumbs and then placing them on the prepared pan. Repeat with half of the tenders.
• Follow the same instructions as above, but this time dip the remaining chicken tenders into the jalapeno chip crumbs.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes in your preheated oven, rotating the pan halfway through baking. Let cool before serving alongside a small bowl of the spicy ranch dipping sauce.
• Or slice the tenders into strips and place them in a soft 10 inch tortilla, topped with shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese and a drizzle of the spicy ranch sauce.
