  • Grill
  • Heavy Duty Pot

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 4 eggs beaten
  • 1 cup flour
  • 2 cups Takis crumbled into powder
  • 2 quarts vegetable or frying oil
  • Tortillas
  • Limes

Instructions
 

  • Make an assembly line with the flour, egg, and Takis powder. Add the flour to a shallow plate. Followed by the eggs and Takis in separate plates.
  • Take each chicken tender and dredge it in flour. Shake off excess flour and then dip into the egg and shake off excess egg.
  • Finally, completely coat the chicken in the crumbled Takis. Repeat the process for the rest of the chicken.
  • Heat the oil in a large skillet or pot on medium temperature or until the temperature reaches 350F.
  • Add the TAKIS coated chicken pieces to the hot oil, a few pieces at a time, and fry for 3-4 minutes per side or until the outside is crispy and the internal temperature reaches at least 165F.
  • The chicken should be placed on a cooling rack to let the extra grease drain. Place on a hot tortilla and top with taco crema and your favorite taco toppings.
