# What You'll Need:
→ Main Ingredients
01 -
255 g Cool Ranch Doritos
02 -
1 kg boneless, skinless chicken breasts
→ Breading & Coating
03 -
180 ml whole milk
04 -
4 large eggs, beaten
05 -
95 g all-purpose flour
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Crank your oven up to 200°C first. If you've got foil, lay it on two baking sheets or just swipe some olive oil on them. Stick a wire rack on top if you've got one lying around.
02 -
Grab your chicken breasts and cut them into strips around 8–10 cm long and 5–7 cm wide. Throw all the strips into a big bowl and keep them close.
03 -
Smash those Doritos in their bag until they're like chunky breadcrumbs.
04 -
Put the beaten eggs, flour, milk, and the crushed Doritos into their own shallow bowls. Set them side by side and you're ready for dunking.
05 -
Start with one strip at a time. Dip it in the milk first, then coat with flour, dunk in egg, then cover it in Doritos crumbs. Spread the coated pieces out on the trays.
06 -
Pop the trays in your hot oven. Let them bake for 15 to 20 minutes and make sure to flip the pieces over halfway. They're done when the insides hit 74°C and look cooked through.
07 -
Eat right away and dunk in your favorite sauce like ranch or barbecue. Sprinkle some sliced green onion on top if you want to dress it up.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Want your chicken to be super crispy? Put it up on a wire rack over your tray so it gets lots of air all around.
02 -
Let any extras cool all the way down, then keep them sealed in the fridge for up to four days or stash in the freezer for three months tops.
03 -
To warm up leftovers, pop them in the oven or air fryer at 175°C until they're hot and crunchy again.
