1/2 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 pound chicken tenderloins, cut into
1-1/2-inch pieces
How To Make :
In an electric skillet or deep fryer, heat
oil to 350°. Place chips, flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, pepper and baking powder in
a food processor; pulse until ground. Transfer to a shallow dish.

Test Kitchen tips :
If you're a dunker, try serving this with
sweet-and-sour sauce.
To reuse frying oil, cool and strain it to
remove any food particles. Store, covered, in the refrigerator.
Fry in small batches to maintain
consistent oil temperature.
