"Crispy, crunchy, chicken perfection! I think we all just want to eat chips for dinner sometimes. With this recipe you can! You’ll have to go against your initial gut instinct and crush them all—but trust me, it’s worth it! Then coat the chicken in the crushed chips and bake them in the oven. You will be surprised by how crunchy and delicious the chicken will turn out!"
