    Don't these Cheetos Chicken Fingers look delicious?

    You can serve them up with ranch dressing, or just eat them "plain." I don't think you are going to want to use honey mustard to dip these babies!

    It would totally detract from their amazing Cheetos flavor!

    Instructions for making this Cheeto Chicken Dinner Recipe
