Doritos Chicken Tenders
If crispy comfort food is your thing, these Doritos Chicken Tenders are about to become a repeat favorite. Crunchy, cheesy, and packed with bold flavor in every bite — they come out golden on the outside and juicy inside with almost no effort. Perfect for game nights, picky eaters, or those “what can I make fast?” evenings.
Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, cut into strips
2 cups crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 eggs
1/2 cup milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Cooking spray or melted butter
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Crush the Doritos into fine crumbs and place them in a bowl. Mix in the shredded cheddar cheese.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
In a third bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat each chicken strip first in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally press into the crushed Doritos until fully coated.
Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray with cooking spray or drizzle with melted butter for extra crispiness.
Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and crispy golden brown.
Serve hot with ranch, honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or spicy mayo
