Ingredients
  

  • 9 oz Doritos (or any flavor tortilla chips)
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 pounds chicken, cut into thin strips
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • Fresh black pepper, to taste
  • For dipping: Ranch, sour cream, ketchup, bbq sauce or your favorite sauce

Instructions
 

  • Crush the Doritos or tortilla chips in a bag with a rolling pin until finely crushed. Place the crushed chips in a bowl.
  • Season the chicken strips with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Dip each chicken strip in the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with the crushed Doritos, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Preheat your Air Fryer at 380°F (195°C) for 4 minutes. Spray the basket with oil. Arrange chicken in a single layer and spray the tops with oil.
  • Air Fry at 380°F (195°C) for 15 minutes. Gently turn the chicken pieces, spray with oil, and air fry for an additional 3-5 minutes until golden brown and cooked through. Serve warm with your favorite dip.

Notes

- Use your favorite Doritos flavor for a fun twist!
- Ensure chicken strips are dry before dipping for best adhesion.
- Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; cook in batches if necessary.
