Potato Chip Chicken Strips

Ranch dressing, honey mustard, or your favorite dipping sauce
Optional: Lemon wedges for garnish

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven or Prepare for Frying

Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a wire rack for crispier results.
Stovetop Method: Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat (about 350°F/175°C).

2. Set Up the Breading Station

Place the flour in a shallow bowl and season with salt, black pepper, and optional spices.
Beat the eggs in a second shallow bowl.
Crush the potato chips into fine crumbs (use a food processor or place them in a resealable bag and crush with a rolling pin). Place the crushed chips in a third shallow bowl.

3. Bread the Chicken

Dredge each chicken strip in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured strip into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Press the chicken strip into the crushed potato chips, coating evenly on all sides. Gently press the crumbs to help them adhere.

4. Cook the Chicken

Oven Method: Arrange the breaded chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray or brush the tops with oil for extra crispiness. Bake for 15–20 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
Stovetop Method: Fry the chicken strips in batches for 3–4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

5. Serve and Enjoy

Serve the chicken strips hot with your favorite dipping sauces like ranch, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
Optional: Garnish with lemon wedges for added brightness.
Enjoy every bite of these crispy, crunchy, and flavorful chicken strips!
Pair with fries, coleslaw, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Tips for Success

Choose Your Chips Wisely: Experiment with flavored chips like BBQ, sour cream & onion, or jalapeño for a unique twist.
Double Coat for Extra Crunch: Dip the chicken strips in egg and chips twice for an ultra-crispy coating.
Make It Healthier: Bake instead of frying to reduce oil usage while still achieving a crispy texture.
Freeze for Later: Freeze uncooked breaded strips on a baking sheet, then transfer to a freezer bag. Cook directly from frozen, adding 5–10 minutes to the cooking time.
Switch Proteins: Substitute chicken with turkey, pork, or even tofu for a different option.
