Description

Doritos Chicken Tenders is an easy, flavor packed recipe that’s sure to impress! With just a handful of ingredients and less than 15 minutes in the air fryer, you’ll have crispy, juicy chicken with a crunchy Dorito coating — perfect for weeknights or game day!

Ingredients 

  • 1 cup Doritos, crushed, any flavor
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 tablespoons milk
  • 1 pound chicken, chicken tenders or chicken breast

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, beat the egg and milk.
  • In another bowl, place the crushed Doritos.
  • Coat the chicken with the egg/milk mixture. Be sure to shake the excess off, then coat the chicken with the egg wash into the crushed Doritos, shaking off any excess.
  • Place the coated chicken tenders on a greased air fryer tray or in the greased air fryer basket.
  • Set the timer for 7 minutes at 350 degrees F. After 7 minutes, flip the chicken and add another 7 minutes. Check the internal temperature of the chicken, then plate, serve, and enjoy!
    Note: To use your oven to make your Doritos chicken, preheat to 400 degrees F and bake for 15-18 minutes.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!
