Corn chips crusted chicken fingers with jalapeño aïoli

Servings serves 6-8

These nacho crusted chicken fingers are oven fried and crunchy. Slightly healthier and much easier then deep fried ones. Breaded in corn chips, oven baked, and served with a beyond delicious spicy and creamy garlic sauce, this chicken snack will be perfect for your movie night. Or you can serve them with tacos and veggies for an easy dinner that’s different, delicious, spicy and full of flavor.
I love any kind of breaded chicken. Whenever I make crusted chicken, I flavor them in stages. The spices are blended into Greek yogurt to create a savory marinade. Then I add more seasoning to the dredging mixture, and finally, the little chicken fingers are topped with oil and baked in the oven. Served with a seriously tasty addictive garlic sauce and spicy jalapeños. Try to resist this!

How to

Preheat the oven to 220°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

In a large bowl, combine the Greek yogurt, mustard, jalapeños, baking soda, and 1/2 tsp each of salt, pepper, paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Add chicken strips and toss well until coated.

Using a food processor, crush the corn chips until a texture similar to coarse bread crumbs. Set aside in a large bowl. Add the breadcrumbs, flour, and 1/2 tsp each of salt, paprika, garlic powder and cayenne pepper. Stir to combine.

Remove each piece of chicken from the yogurt mixture and dredge through the nacho crumbs. Place on the prepared baking sheet and brush generously the chicken with oil. Transfer to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, flip and bake 5 minutes more or until the chicken is cooked through and nicely browned.

In the meantime, make the jalapeño aïoli. Combine all ingredients in a small bowl. Enjoy!
