POTATO CHIP CHICKEN TENDERS

Provided by Geoffrey Zakarian

Categories     main-dish

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 quart (4 cups) vegetable oil, for frying
1 pound chicken tenders
Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper
1 cup potato flakes
1 cup wavy potato chips, crushed
1 cup all-purpose flour
4 large eggs, beaten

Steps:

  • Put the oil in a heavy-bottomed skillet fitted with a deep-frying thermometer. Heat over medium heat until it reaches 350 degrees F.
  • Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Mix the potato flakes and crushed chips together in a shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, mix the flour and some salt and pepper. Add the eggs to a third shallow dish. Dredge the chicken tenders on all sides first in the seasoned flour. Shake to remove any excess flour, then dip into the egg. Allow the egg to drip off. Dredge in the potato mixture until evenly coated.
  • Carefully add the chicken tenders to the hot oil and cook until golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a cooling rack over a paper towel-lined baking sheet. Sprinkle with more salt and serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use a variety of potato chips. This will give your chicken tenders a more complex flavor. You can use regular, flavored, or even crushed potato chips.
  • Make sure the potato chips are finely crushed. This will help them adhere to the chicken tenders.
  • Use a light hand when breading the chicken tenders. You don't want to over-coat them, or they will be too heavy.
  • Cook the chicken tenders until they are golden brown and crispy. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include ranch dressing, barbecue sauce, and honey mustard.

Conclusion:

Potato chip chicken tenders are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or main course. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick weeknight meal. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a dish that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a fun and flavorful recipe, give potato chip chicken tenders a try.
