Cool Ranch Doritos Chicken Fingers Recipes

DORITOS CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Line 2 baking sheets with foil or brush very lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking. If you have a wire rack that sits in a baking sheet, that will work very well.
• p id="instruction-step-3">3. Slice chicken into pieces about 3-4 inches long by 2-3 inches wide. Place in bowl and set aside. Depending on the size of the chicken breast, you will get 5-7 pieces in each one.
• id="instruction-step-4">4. Open top of Doritos bag, then hold the top closed and squeeze to crunch up the Doritos. The pieces will resemble crunched up corn flakes.
• id="instruction-step-5">5. In separate bowls, place milk, flour, and beaten eggs. Line up bowls in the following order: milk, flour, eggs, Doritos, cookie tray, wet cloth. (Before assembling, have a wet cloth handy as this can get a little messy!)

• "instruction-step-7">7. Bake in 400F for 15-20 minutes, turning over once halfway through. Test to ensure that chicken is no longer pink inside.

COOL RANCH CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
• As it heats, fill a food processor with Doritos. Put on the lid and pulse until you have a fine crumble. If you don't have a food processor, place them in a gallon-sized resealable plastic bag and smash until they're dust, basically. Once you have about 1 1/2 cups of crumbled Doritos, pour them into a shallow bowl.
• In a second shallow bowl, crack two eggs and beat them with a fork until thoroughly combined. In a third shallow bowl, combine flour, salt and pepper. Set all three bowls in a row, starting with flour mixture, then egg mixture, then crushed Doritos. Place them next to a baking sheet (it will all make sense soon, promise).
• Cut chicken breasts into strips. Dip each strip into the flour mixture, then the egg mixture, then the Doritos, then place them about an inch apart on a baking sheet (ideally lined with parchment paper for easy cleanup afterward).
• Bake chicken tenders for 30-35 minutes, or until the juices run clear when pierced with a fork. If you cut a chicken strip in half, the inside should be entirely white.

COOL RANCH DORITOS CHICKEN FINGERS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, marinate the chicken strips in buttermilk for at LEAST 2-3 hours (you can soak overnight).
• When ready to bake preheat oven to 400°.
• Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
• Take bag of Doritos and crush the chips inside. Now transfer Dorito pieces and flour into food processor or blender to crush and blend until the Doritos are the size of panko bread crumbs. Add in Ranch seasoning if desired.
• Transfer crumbs into a medium bowl.
• Set up a "coating station" and remove each chicken strip from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off and coat the chicken in the Dorito/Flour mixture.
• Transfer to lined baking sheet. Continue with all chicken.
• Bake chicken strips for 15-20 minutes until chicken is cooked through.
• Serve immediately with Ranch dressing!
