Cheeto Crusted Fish Recipe 455

CHEETO-CRUSTED FISH RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• 1. Place flour on plate (may be paper); place eggs in shallow bowl. Place Cheetos in large zip-top bag; seal tightly and crush with fingertips until finely ground. Add panko, parsley, coriander, and pepper; mix until well-blended. Place mixture in second shallow bowl. 2. Dip each fillet in flour, coating both sides; shake off excess. Dip each fillet into egg, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, dip into Cheeto mixture, coating both sides; press with fingertips to coat evenly. 3. Preheat oil for frying in large sauté pan on medium heat. Add 1/2 of the fish fillets; cook 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden and crisp. Place on paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining fillets, adding more oil if needed. Serve immediately. Makes 4 servings.

• Coat chicken breasts in flour & salt.
• Combine egg & water. Beat until well combined. Dip floured Chicken in egg mixture.
• Coat the chicken in the Cheesie crumbs.
• Place on a lightly greased baking sheet (I use cooking spray).
• Bake for 35-45 minutes at 350° until chicken is cooked through (cooking time will depend on thickness of meat).

CHEETO-CRUSTED CHICKEN WITH FLAMING HOT SPAETZLE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
• Meanwhile mix flour, eggs, milk, sriracha sauce, water and salt together with a blender or food processor to create a firm dough. Set aside and let rest.
• While the water is coming to a boil and the dough is resting, place the chicken between two sheets of wax paper and pound with a flat mallet until the meat is about 1/2-inch thick.
• Prepare 3 bowls- one to hold the flour, one to hold the beaten eggs, and one to hold the crushed cheese curls. Coat each chicken filet with flour, then egg, then the cheese curls.
• Spray a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium-high heat. Saute the chicken until cooked through, about 5 minutes per side.
• While the chicken is cooking, prepare the spaetzle. Add the dough directly into the boiling water quickly using a colander with medium-sized holes (Push the doughs through the holes with a wooden spoon). When the spaetzle float, they are ready (about 2-3 minutes). Fish them out with a slotted spoon.
• Serve chicken over spaetzle, and top with more sriracha sauce or some shredded cheese, if desired.

CHEETOS - COPYCAT RECIPE - (3.4/5)

Steps:

• Make the cheese curls: In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, salt, and garlic powder at medium-low speed for 1 to 2 minutes. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the flour, cornmeal, and shredded cheese. Stir together at low speed until a firm dough forms. Shape into a disc and place on a large sheet of plastic wrap; wrap tightly and refrigerate for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 350˚F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or Silpat liners. Pinch off small pieces of the chilled dough and gently roll between your palms and fingers to form lumpy logs roughly 2 to 2 1/2 inches long and 1/4 to 1/2 inch across. Place on the prepared baking sheets-you can space them fairly close together because they won't puff up while baking. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the pieces are no longer shiny and are just beginning to brown around the edges. Transfer to a wire rack and let cool completely. Add the coating: Place the cheese powder, buttermilk powder, salt, and cornstarch in a spice grinder or mini food processor and whir for 10 to 15 seconds to blend evenly. Transfer to a large zip-top bag. Add the cooled Cheetos, seal, and shake gently to coat evenly. Store the coated cheese curls at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week.
