  • Total Time: 45 min

Serves: 24

Category: Chicken,Dinner

Ingredients

  • 3lbs chicken breast (cut into strips)
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 170g Doritos Cool Original Tortilla Chips
  • 170g Doritos Chilli Heatwave Tortilla Chips
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp paprika
  • 1/4 tsp fresh ground black pepper

Method

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C
  2. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk. Add in the chicken tenders, toss and set off to the side.
  3. In the bowl of your food processor; add 6 oz of Cool Doritos. Blend until fine crumbs form. Pour the chip crumbs into a shallow bowl and season with the paprika, garlic and onion powder.
  4. Repeat the same with the Chilli Heatwave Doritos. Pour the crumbs into another shallow bowl and season with a quarter teaspoon of black pepper.
  5. Set up your breading station starting from left to right: chicken tenders then crisp crumbs then a rimmed baking sheet with either a baking rack set inside or lined with parchment paper.
  6. 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 crisp crumbs and then placing them on the prepared pan. Repeat with half of the tenders.
  7. Follow the same instructions as above, but this time dip the remaining chicken tenders into the Chilli Heatwave crumbs.
  8. 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, tomato ketchup or another dip of your choice.
  9. Or why not slice the tenders into strips and place them in a soft 10 inch tortilla, topped with shredded lettuce, cheddar cheese and a drizzle of spicy ranch sauce?
