Cool Ranch Fried Chicken

Wow!  Tried this last night and it was fantastic....  I used Cool Ranch Doritos to make this fabulous fried chicken.

Cool Ranch Fried Chicken

4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded flat and cut in 1/2)
1 bag Cool Ranch Doritos, in food processor  (about 4 cups when processed)
2 cups buttermilk (or evaporated milk)
1 egg
2 cups all purpose flour
1 Tbsp. ground pepper
1 Tbsp. salt
Oil for frying (Canola)

Crush all of the Doritos in a food processor until crumbly. 

Bowl 1:  Flour, salt and pepper

Bowl 2:  Beat together buttermilk and 1 egg

Bowl 3:  Cool Ranch Doritos (crumbles)

Cut chicken breasts in 1/2 and place in a plastic bag.  Remove air from bag and seal.  Using a mallet or back of a cup, slightly pound out the chicken breasts to flatten them a bit.  Dip into the flour to coat both sides.  Immediately dip into the buttermilk/egg mixture and then into the Doritos, pressing down to coat both sides well.

Place oil into an electric skillet (300 degrees) or deep skillet on medium heat on the stove.  Make sure grease is hot by dropping a little flour into it.  If it immediately sizzles, it is hot.  Place coated chicken breast halves into the oil and fry until brown and crispy on both sides, about 4 minutes per side.  Remove and drain on a paper towel.  You can add some additional salt while chicken is hot if you like it a little saltier.

Enjoy!
