Chip Chicken Lollipops

"This is a fun recipe for a children's party...but found adults love it even more. Experiment with various potato chip flavors. I happen to like barbecue chips, but my husband enjoys the sour cream and onion variety. Serve with honey mustard dressing, ranch dressing, thousand island dressing or ketchup for dipping"

Directions

Method written by CompKitchen from the ingredient list. Not the original author's method, not kitchen-tested.

  1. Heat the oven to 400°F (204°C) with a rack in the middle. Lightly grease a baking sheet, or line it with parchment paper.

  2. Whisk the egg and milk together in a shallow bowl. Spread the crushed potato chips in a second shallow bowl.

  3. Thread 3 or 4 chicken cubes onto each lollipop stick, leaving a little space between pieces so they cook evenly.

  4. Dip each chicken skewer into the egg mixture, let the excess drip off, then roll and press it firmly in the crushed chips until coated. Set on the baking sheet.

  5. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, until the coating is golden and the thickest piece of chicken reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest 2 minutes before serving.
