Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken tenders
• 8 oz Lay's potato chips (any flavor of your choice)
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 Eggs
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 1 tsp Garlic powder
• 1 tsp Onion powder
• 1 tsp Paprika
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.5 tsp Black pepper
• 2 cups Cooking oil (for frying)

Directions

Step 1

Place the Lay's potato chips in a large resealable plastic bag. Crush them into small crumbs using a rolling pin or food processor. Transfer the crushed chips to a shallow dish and set aside.

Step 2

In another shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In a third shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.

Step 4

Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. Dredge each chicken tender in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 5

Dip the floured chicken tender into the egg mixture, allowing any excess egg to drip off.

Step 6

Press the chicken tender firmly into the crushed Lay's potato chips, ensuring it is fully coated. Repeat with all chicken tenders.

Step 7

Heat the cooking oil in a deep skillet or frying pan over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Step 8

Carefully add the coated chicken tenders to the hot oil, working in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Fry each tender for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Step 9

Transfer the cooked tenders to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Serve the Lay's Crispy Chicken Tenders hot with your favorite dipping sauces and enjoy!
