Tips:

  • Use a food processor to crush the Doritos into fine crumbs. This will help the coating adhere to the chicken better.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can crush the Doritos by placing them in a plastic bag and using a rolling pin to crush them.
  • Make sure the chicken tenders are completely dry before coating them in the Doritos crumbs. This will help the coating stick better.
  • If you want a thicker coating, you can double-coat the chicken tenders in the Doritos crumbs.
  • Be careful not to overcrowd the chicken tenders in the pan when frying them. This will cause them to steam instead of fry and they will not be as crispy.
  • Serve the Doritos-crusted chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Doritos-crusted chicken tenders are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties or game day gatherings. The combination of the crunchy Doritos coating and the tender chicken is sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a fun and flavorful recipe, give Doritos-crusted chicken tenders a try! You won't be disappointed.
