If you’re anything like me, every few weeks or so you find yourself with a plethora of quarter-filled bags of potato chips taking up precious space in your pantry. Get yourself some space back by turning them into Potato Chip Chicken Fingers!
Potato Chip Chicken Fingers are chicken breasts sliced into strips, coated with crushed potato chips, then baked until tender on the inside and crunchy on the outside. Use whatever flavor of potato chip you like — the possibilities are as endless as the chip aisle!
I serve my Potato Chip Chicken Fingers with honey mustard dipping sauce but feel free to flank yours with whatever you like best. BBQ sauce, ketchup, etc. The dunk choice is almost as limitless at the chip choice!
Start with your chips. Like I said, this is an excellent meal for cleaning out your chip cupboard, though for these photos I’m using a brand new bag of kettle chips.
Crush the chips in a large Ziplock bag with a rolling pin, or use a food processor, then place the crumbs into a shallow dish or bowl.
Next, pat dry 2 chicken breasts then season lightly on both sides with salt and pepper. Most chips have a lot of salt on them already, but you’ll miss the flavor if you skip this step.
Cut the chicken into 1″ thick strips. You could of course use chicken tenderloins but they typically cost way more then chicken breasts.
Next whisk 1 egg with 1 Tablespoon milk (could use water) in a shallow dish. Lay everything out next to a nonstick-sprayed, foil-lined baking sheet.
Dunk the chicken fingers into the egg mixture then roll in the chip crumbs and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20 minutes, flipping once, and you’re done. Easy!
As I said, a good dip is a must for chicken fingers, and I love this simple honey-mustard dipping sauce.
That’s just plain Greek yogurt stirred together with yellow mustard, dijon mustard and honey until smooth. I could drink this stuff.
Serve with a fresh or roasted veggie then dig in!
If you like the crunch of chips, then you will love these chicken fingers. So crispy and yummy, perfect for kids and kids at heart. Enjoy!
