Recipe: Baked Doritos Chicken Tenders

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound chicken tenders (about 10-12 tenders)
  • 2 cups Doritos chips, any flavor
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • Cooking spray

Directions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside.
  2. Place the Doritos chips in a food processor and pulse until finely crushed, or place them in a sealed plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin.
  3. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with crushed Doritos chips.
  4. Dredge each chicken tender in the flour, shaking off any excess.
  5. Dip the floured chicken tender into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
  6. Press the egg-coated chicken tender into the crushed Doritos chips, coating it evenly on all sides and pressing gently to adhere.
  7. Place the coated chicken tender on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the breading process with the remaining chicken tenders.
  8. Lightly spray the coated chicken tenders with cooking spray to help them crisp up in the oven.
  9. Bake the Baked Doritos Chicken Tenders in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
  10. Once cooked through and crispy, remove the chicken tenders from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
