Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to get it ready for the chicken.
Step 2: Prepare the Chicken
Take boneless, skinless chicken breasts and cut them into strips or bite-sized pieces.
Step 3: Set Up the Breading Station
In one bowl, mix flour with salt and pepper. In a second bowl, beat some eggs. In a third bowl, crush Hot Cheetos into fine crumbs.
Step 4: Bread the Chicken
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, then dip it into the egg, and finally coat it with the crushed Hot Cheetos. Make sure each piece is fully covered.
Step 5: Place on Baking Sheet
Arrange the breaded chicken pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spacing them out evenly.
Step 6: Bake the Chicken
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, until they are golden brown and cooked through.
Step 7: Allow to Cool
Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
