Potato Chip-Crusted Chicken Recipe

American · Main course · 40 min total

Crunchy, savory, and incredibly easy to make, this potato chip-crusted chicken is a fun twist on classic fried chicken. The chips add a crispy coating that stays crunchy even after baking.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 2 cups crushed potato chips (about 6 oz, any flavor)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 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. Place flour in a shallow dish. Beat eggs in another shallow dish. In a third dish, combine crushed potato chips, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Pat chicken breasts dry and season lightly with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, letting excess drip off. Finally, press into chip mixture, coating all sides.
4. Place coated chicken on prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray tops with cooking spray to help browning.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C) and coating is golden and crispy.
6. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Tips

• For extra crunch, use thick-cut or kettle-cooked chips.
• Serve with honey mustard, ranch, or your favorite dipping sauce.
• Leftovers can be reheated in a 350°F oven for 10 minutes to restore crispiness.
