  1. Preheat oven to 400 – place baking sheet in oven to heat up while oven is getting warm and you are dredging the chicken.
  2. Place each dry ingredient in a separate dredge bowl, dip chicken into the flour, then egg, then crushed chips. Place the crusted chicken on a cooling rack while completing the dredging.
