Lay's Crispy Chicken Tenders image

I created this recipe for a contest at my husband's work. It comes out very crispy and is an interesting change to the regular chicken tender breading. We love it. We're also soy and dairy free so the recipe includes coconut milk instead of regular milk--I think the coconut milk gives it a very nice flavor. Enjoy!

Time 1h

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 cups baked potato chips
1 (3 1/2 ounce) box panko breadcrumbs
1 egg
1 cup coconut milk
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Steps:

  • Beat the egg with milk in a bowl, and set aside.
  • Stir together the flour, onion and garlic powder, turmeric, salt and black pepper in a bowl. Set this aside also. (You're setting up a dredging station with three different shallow bowls-glass pie dishes work best).
  • Dip the chicken pieces into the seasoned flour. Move around to coat well, shake off the excess flour.
  • Dip into the egg/milk wash, coating well.
  • Dip into the lays mixture, coating well.
  • Set aside on plate to rest while heating oil.
  • Heat oil in a large, heavy skillet to 325 degrees.

  • Drain on wire mesh rack suspended over a cookie sheet.
