Using crushed Doritos as a breading for chicken strips is a great idea. The Doritos give the chicken strips an excellent flavor and a nice crunch. The strips are baked in the oven so no frying is involved. The process to making this recipe is very easy—the chicken is first dipped in mayonnaise, and then rolled in a mixture of taco seasoning and crushed Doritos chips. If you want to leave the taco seasoning out, that is okay, it should taste fine without it. You can use whatever flavor of Doritos you like for this recipe; I used both Nacho Cheese and Cool Ranch. I actually think I preferred the flavor of the Cool Ranch ones a little more. You can serve these with your favorite dipping sauce or they taste great without any at all. Enjoy.

9×3 baking sheet, huh?.. those are some itty bitty strips!! 😉 awesome recipe!! can’t wait to try!! we make a Doritos Chicken Enchilada with green chilis (no Rotel) and soup, that is to die for, so I can’t wait to try this one! thanks!!
I have some Spicy Garlic Doritos that are shelf life-out of date. I will use those for the coating. I am trying it on two rib bone in breasts that i have in my fridge. Hope hubby likes it.
It bet any kind of flavored chip would be good such as Cheetos, Sour Cream and Onion, etc.
will the Doritos really stick to the chicken?
tony – Yes, the Doritos should stick to the chicken.
Is there a way to omit or change the mayo mixture to something else?
You could try using Greek yogurt instead of mayo.
Actually use eggs beated. I did it the other night with spicy sweet Doritos it was Delicious
