As a parent with picky eaters, I sometimes have to get creative when it comes to finding things that my children will eat. One of my children?s favorite foods is fried chicken (which I also love!). I have found a fun way to keep that crunchy, flavorful chicken in our menu rotation by coating the chicken with chips and then baking the chicken in the oven. And to give it a completely unique spin, I used one of the SunChips brand?s newest flavors ? Sweet and Spicy BBQ.
As a mom, SunChips are a snack that I can get behind because they are made with 100% whole grains (that you can see and taste!) and are made with no artificial preservatives or flavors. They have also some delicious flavors (like Garden Salsa and Harvest Cheddar) that my family loves.
This recipe literally comes together in a matter of minutes and will be a family favorite! The flavor of the chips really takes your plain ol? chicken to the next level! I will even cut the chicken up into strips and my kids will dip it in BBQ sauce or ketchup.
