You can just imagine how delicious these baked Cheetos chicken tenders are. Great for parties, game day, and any gathering. Everyone loves them. Kids and adults.

Cheetos on chicken? Yup! It’s a fun and really delicious way to make chicken tenders.

May sound a little strange but, these are really scrumptious.

If you are a Cheetos fan, you are sure to love these crispy treats.

I don’t make these for dinners but, I do make them for parties and even potluck dinners.

These are the first things to go once they’re set down on a serving table.

Can’t forget after school snacks. My son really enjoys these and is always happy when I have these waiting for him when he gets off the school bus.

I like making these for the ease of preparation and of course the way they taste.

When chicken tenders are on sale at the market, I grab a few packages and then there’s no prep work with the chicken. If not, I buy some chicken cutlets and easily cut them into strips which turn into chicken fingers.

You can use as little or as more chicken and Cheetos as you like. You’ll know how thick the coating you want them to be.

Anyway you dip these, they will be great. Make some soon for your next gathering. Watch them disappear really fast!
