Recipes Meat and Poultry Chicken Fried Chicken Recipes Flamin’ Hot Cheetos Fried Chicken Be the first to rate & review! 1 Photo I made this Flamin' Hot Cheetos fried chicken one day, when I thought, I use Flamin’ Hot Cheetos to bread fried pickles and onion rings, so why not fried chicken? They lose a lot of heat during the process, so don't skip the cayenne pepper.

Something went wrong. Our team is working on it. Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings 6 cups cheese puffs, such as CHEETOS® Crunchy FLAMIN’ HOT® Cheese Flavored Snacks 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 pound chicken breast tenderloins (about 8 pieces) 1/4 cup mayonnaise 2 tablespoons vegetable oil Directions Place Cheetos in a blender and pulse until fine crumbs. Pour crumbs into a 1-gallon resealable plastic bag. Add cayenne and salt. Seal the bag and shake to combine. Place chicken tenders in a 1-quart resealable plastic bag. Add mayonnaise. Seal the bag and massage chicken in mayonnaise until evenly coated. Transfer 2 chicken tenders from their bag to the bag with Cheeto crumbs. Seal the bag and shake until evenly coated. Place tenders on a plate. Repeat with remaining tenders. Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Add breaded chicken tenders in a single layer and cook for 6 minutes. Using a spatula, flip tenders over and cook until tenders are no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
