    How to make this Cheeto Chicken Fingers Recipe

    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!

    Ingredients needed to make this Cheeto Chicken

    • Cheetos
    • Chicken Breasts
    • Egg

    Instructions for making this Cheeto Chicken Dinner Recipe

    Cut your chicken breast up into strips.

    Take your Cheetos and crush them into crumbs. You can use a food processor if you prefer, just make sure not to grind them too finely. You do want some nice chunks on the finished product!
