How To Make poultry essentials: potato chip tenders

• 
  Step 1
  PREP/PREPARE
• 
  Step 2
  To achieve the best results, you will want a baking sheet fitted with a wire rack. This will help to crisp the chicken on both sides at the same time. If you do not have a wire rack, you should carefully flip the chicken strips over, halfway through baking.
• 
  Step 3
  I am cutting up chicken breasts into strips; however, you could actually use chicken tenders.
• 
  Step 4
  The potato chips you choose will impact the flavor of these tenders. My personal favorite is vinegar-and-sea-salt; but choose whatever flavor you like the most.

  Crush up the potato chips (I used a food processor; however, you could just as easily do it with your hands). You do not want dust; you want little bits of chips.

  Gently add them to a rimmed baking sheet fitted with a wire rack and allow to rest for about 15 – 20 minutes.
