I was looking for ways to spice up traditional chicken nuggets and came up with this recipe. The chips add a crunchy texture and flavor, while the meat is tender on the inside. —Kristina Segarra, Yonkers, New York

Ingredients

Oil for deep-fat frying
1 cup sweet potato chips
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt, divided
1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 pound chicken tenderloins, cut into 1-1/2-inch pieces

Directions

In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°. Place chips, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and baking powder in a food processor; pulse until ground. Transfer to a shallow dish.
Mix cornstarch and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt; toss with chicken. Toss with potato chip mixture, pressing gently to coat.
Fry nuggets, a few at a time, until golden brown, 2-3 minutes. Drain on paper towels.

Test Kitchen tips

If you're a dunker, try serving this with sweet-and-sour sauce.

To reuse frying oil, cool and strain it to remove any food particles. Store, covered, in the refrigerator.

Fry in small batches to maintain consistent oil temperature.
