Chip-Crusted Chicken Tenders Recipe

American · Main course · 35 min total

Crunchy, oven-baked chicken tenders coated in crushed potato chips for a quick and kid-friendly dinner.

Ingredients

• 1 lb chicken tenders (or boneless skinless chicken breasts cut into strips)
• 2 cups kettle-cooked potato chips (any flavor), crushed
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• Cooking spray or oil for baking sheet

Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with crushed potato chips mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Pat chicken tenders dry with paper towels. Dredge each tender first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, letting excess drip off, and finally press into chip mixture to coat evenly.
4. Place coated tenders on prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray tops with cooking spray for extra crispiness.
5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Serve immediately.

Tips

• Use a resealable bag and rolling pin to crush chips easily.
• For extra crunch, use thick-cut kettle chips.
• Serve with ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce for dipping.
• Leftovers can be reheated in an oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
