Delicious Potato Chip Chicken Recipe for Family Dinners

Ingredients

Servings:
6
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless and skinless)
  • 2 cups potato chips (crushed)
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Chicken

    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Rinse the chicken breasts and pat them dry with paper towels.

    Make sure the chicken is dry for better coating adherence.
  2. Marinate the Chicken

    Soak the chicken breasts in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes to tenderize and flavor the meat.

    For best results, marinate overnight.
  3. Mix the Coating

    In a bowl, combine the crushed potato chips, garlic powder, onion powder, and salt.

    Use flavored potato chips for an extra kick.
  4. Coat the Chicken

    Remove the chicken from the buttermilk and let the excess drip off. Dredge each piece in the potato chip mixture until fully coated.

    Press the coating onto the chicken for better adhesion.
  5. Bake the Chicken

    Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.

    Use a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
