Potato Chip Chicken (shown as baked tenders in photo)

This is the only fried chicken recipe you ever need to know. You can fry it or bake it. This is the recipe the tall man's grandma made - always a whole cut up chicken and always fried in an electric fry pan!

4 lbs of chicken - any kind works (boneless skinless or with skin)
3 beaten eggs in a bowl big enough to dip chicken into
1 to 2 large bags of potato chips

(I put the flour and potato chips on a paper plate if I have them, for ease of clean up)

Crush the potato tips. You can crush them in the bag, the more finely crushed the better. It's even really great to whirl in your food processor - if you want to bother.

Set up an assembly line for dipping of flour, egg, potato chips (in that order).

Place on baking sheet. Bake at 350 for:
Chicken tenders, 45mins-60mins
bone in skin on chicken 60mins-75mins

This makes the best bone in skin on oven fried chicken.

You can also fry on the stove top if you like it that way. I sometimes use boneless chicken breasts, cut in half (at least), fry on top of the stove 7 to 8 minutes per side, then finish off in the oven about 30 minutes. Skin on chicken tastes fried baked, so I only bake that style (no need to fry)!
