INGREDIENTS

  • Coating

    • 6 cups Flamin' Hot Cheetos
    • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
    • 🧂 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • Chicken

    • 1 pound chicken breast tenderloins (about 8 pieces)
    • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

  • Cooking oil

    • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

STEPS

1

Place Cheetos in a blender and pulse until fine crumbs. Pour crumbs into a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add cayenne and salt. Seal the bag and shake to combine.

2

Place chicken tenders in a 1-quart resealable plastic bag. Add mayonnaise. Seal the bag and massage chicken in mayonnaise until evenly coated.

3

Transfer 2 chicken tenders from their bag to the bag with Cheeto crumbs. Seal the bag and shake until evenly coated. Place tenders on a plate. Repeat with remaining tenders.

4

Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add breaded chicken tenders in a single layer and cook for 6 minutes. Using a spatula, flip tenders over and cook until tenders are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165°F (74°C).

💡 Make sure the oil is sufficiently hot before adding the chicken to achieve a crispy crust.You can adjust the heat level by adding more or less cayenne pepper.Serve with a cooling dipping sauce like ranch or blue cheese for an extra flavor touch.
