-
As stated, use boneless chicken breasts or thighs for this recipe, and make sure to cut them into evenly sized strips so they cook evenly.
-
Crush the Doritos into small pieces, but not so small that they become powdery. The larger pieces will give the chicken strips a nice, crunchy texture.
-
You can use any flavor of Doritos you like for this recipe, but the nacho cheese or cool ranch flavors work particularly well.
-
To make the chicken strips extra crispy, you can use a double-coating method. Dip each chicken strip in the egg mixture, then coat it in the crushed Doritos. Dip it in the egg mixture again, then coat it in the Doritos a second time.
-
Bake the chicken strips on a wire rack set over a baking sheet. This will allow air to circulate around the chicken strips, ensuring they cook evenly and become crispy on all sides.
-
Serve the chicken strips with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch, BBQ, or hot sauce.
