Recipe: Baked Tortilla Chip Chicken Strips



 Baked Tortilla Chip Chicken Strips

1 egg
1/4 cup hot wing sauce
1 to 1.25 pounds chicken strips
2 cups crushed tortilla chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  In small bowl, combine egg and hot wing sauce. Mix well. Dip chicken strips in egg mixture, dredge in crushed tortilla chips, place on lightly greased baking sheet.  Bake 25 to 30 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink in the center.


The view out my front door.

There is snow on the Rocky Mountains, so that means it is time to start baking.  I don't bake much in the summer time.  Heating up the kitchen when it is hot outside just doesn't appeal to me, but as soon as it cools off, the oven turns on.  There is nothing like a warm kitchen, full of delicious aromas on a cold day.

This recipe, is a great way to use up the bottom of the bag crushed tortilla chips, that no one in the family will eat.  The chicken is juicy and crunchy, with just a slight tang from the hot wing sauce.  It is one of the quick and easy recipes I have included in my new cookbook, Busy Woman's 3 & 4 Ingredient Cookbook, that will be published next summer.

  8. Thanks Jane!

    Rita, I think you will like them. They are nice and crunchy!

    Rosemary, it is a great view!

    Diane, you could replace the hot wing sauce with a couple of drops of Tabasco.

    JeriLyn, you and Dan will have to come down sometime and see the view for yourself. It would be a lot of fun if you did!

    Jenn, they are addictive. My husband doesn't miss them being fried.

    Pam, congratulations on your one year blog anniversary! I hope the snow stays away from you guys for awhile.

    Jacob and Angie, I think you would love them!

  13. I love the idea of this recipe. I love that you're using something that most people throw away to crust your chicken with. And who doesn't love a crispy chicken strip?
