Expired Chips Crusted Chicken Tenders
This recipe uses expired chips to create a flavorful crust on tender chicken, reducing food waste while ensuring food safety.
Ingredients
- 1 unopened bag of chips (expired but still safe to consume)
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking oil for frying
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Crush the expired chips into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed plastic bag and crushing them with a rolling pin.
In three separate bowls, place the all-purpose flour, beaten eggs, and crushed chips.
Add paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the crushed chips and mix well.
Coat each chicken tender in flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the crushed chips mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Heat cooking oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Carefully place the coated chicken tenders in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Transfer the partially cooked chicken tenders to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until fully cooked.
Remove from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving.
Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
