Hot-Cheeto's Crusted Chicken

What you need: 

• one bag of hot Cheetos (only use half)

• I package of chicken tenders 

• 1/2 flour 

• pinch of salt

• pinch of garlic powder 

• pinch of paprika 

• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

• one large egg

• two limes 

• ranch dressing 

Tonight I was making my sticky honey  garlic teriyaki chicken tenders (say that ten times fast) & I kind of felt bored with my menu. I looked in my pantry to find something to possibly bread another batch in & change up the flavores. That's when I came across a bag of lime hot Cheetos & a light bulb just went off. I recently saw a buzzfeed blog about making hot cheeto crusted cheese sticks. So I knew it could be done. 

I took about half the bag and smashed that bad boy with a hammer. I could of used my food processor but this released some tension. (Lol.) I mixed in 1/4 cup of flour, a pinch of salt, pinch of paprika, pinch of garlic & 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. This made my dry batter. 

To coat the chicken so the mixture stays on I mixed 1 large egg with some ranch dressing & a squeeze of lime. Dipped in the chicken then placed it into the cheeto mix and patted it on both sides.

Next I placed the chicken in an ungreased pan.  They baked for about 35-40 minutes at 350. 

And these tasty bad boys were the result. For a dipping sauce I mixed 1/4 cup ranch & one teaspoon of fresh lime juice with a dap of avocado all mixed together. 

This recipe is unusually delicious and the flavor is great. I was honestly surprised when I took a bite and my mouth watered for more. Let me know if you guys try it out and let me know what you think.
