Ingredients Method Notes

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

Method
 

  1. Crush the Doritos or tortilla chips in a bag with a rolling pin until finely crushed. Place the crushed chips in a bowl.
  2. Season the chicken strips with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each chicken strip in the beaten egg, then coat thoroughly with the crushed Doritos, pressing gently to adhere.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
