Made with Mitten Chips

Step by Step

Preheat oven to 400°F. Crush Sweet & Smokey Pepper Mitten Chips into medium crumbs. Set up flour, egg, and chip crumb breading stations.

A rimmed baking sheet with a wire rack gives the crispiest results

Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Dredge each through flour, then egg, then press firmly into the chip crumbs.

Use both hands and really press the chips in for full coverage

Place on a wire rack over a baking sheet. Spray lightly with cooking oil. Bake 18-22 minutes until golden and cooked through (165°F internal).

Flip halfway through for even browning on both sides

Serve with honey mustard and BBQ sauce for dipping. The sweet-smoky chip crust is phenomenal with both sauces.

Serve immediately while the crust is at peak crispiness

Pro Tips
