Ingredients
- One 16-ounce bag potato chips we used plain, but you can sub in your favorite flavor
- 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- Pinch of cayenne pepper
- 2 eggs lightly beaten
- 2 1/2 lbs. chicken drumsticks and thighs
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and top it with a wire rack.
- In the bowl of a food processor, pulse the potato chips until they form coarse crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a large, shallow dish.
- In a second large, shallow dish, whisk the flour with the salt, pepper and cayenne to combine. Whisk the eggs in a third large, shallow dish.
- Working one at a time, dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, then in the egg mixture, then finally in the chip crumbs to coat. Transfer the coated chicken pieces to the rack on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the chicken until the crust is golden and the meat is cooked through, 20 to 25 minutes.
- Cool for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve immediately.
