Eriks Cheesy Cheetoh Chicken Recipes

CHEETOS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the "Cheesies" in your food processor and process into small crumbs. Add the Parmesan Cheese and pour onto a plate.
• 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).

COPYCAT CHEETOS CHICKEN FRIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Spray an 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
• Add the cheese puffs to a food processor and grind to fine crumbs.
• In a large bowl, mix the ground chicken, chicken bouillon, garlic powder, paprika, 1/4 cup of the cheese puff crumbs, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper with your hands until combined. Press the chicken mixture into the baking dish, creating an even layer. Bake until the chicken is cooked, 7 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool slightly, then turn out onto a cutting board and cut into 4-by-1/2-inch sticks.
• Meanwhile, fill a heavy skillet or a Dutch oven halfway with oil. Heat over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer registers 350 degrees F.
• Put the flour, eggs and remaining cheese puff crumbs in separate shallow dishes. Season the flour with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Dip each chicken stick first in the flour, then in the egg, then in the crumbs.
• Add the sticks to the hot oil a few at a time, making sure not to overcrowd. Fry, turning frequently, until crispy, about 1 minute. Remove to a paper-towel lined plate. Serve warm with ranch dressing.

• Line a microwave-safe plate with paper towels; arrange turkey bacon on the paper towels. Top with more paper towels. Microwave on high until bacon is crisp, 1 to 2 minutes. Cool and crumble.
• Mix cauliflower with crumbled bacon, cream cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese, and 1/2 cup Cheddar cheese using an electric mixer until evenly combined. Transfer to a 9x13-inch baking dish; top with remaining 1 cup Cheddar cheese.
