Ingredients
Units
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (or thighs)
- 2 cups crushed potato chips (use your favorite flavor)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
- Cooking spray or melted butter (for extra crispiness)
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack for extra crispiness.
- Prepare coating: Crush potato chips in a bag or food processor. In one bowl, mix flour with garlic powder, onion powder, pepper, and paprika. In another bowl, whisk eggs and milk together.
- Coat the chicken: Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip into the egg mixture, then press into the crushed chips, coating well.
- Bake: Place coated chicken on the baking sheet. Lightly spray with cooking spray or drizzle with melted butter. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp: 165°F/75°C).
- Serve hot: Enjoy with dipping sauces like honey mustard, ranch, or BBQ sauce!
Notes
- Use flavored chips (like sour cream & onion or BBQ) for extra taste!
- Works great with chicken tenders for a fun, kid-friendly meal.
- For an air-fryer version, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway.
