How to make easy Pringles chicken, breaded with your favorite flavor Pringles chips. It's tender yet crispy, delicious, and easy to make, perfect for lunch, dinner, snack, or appetizer!
This crunchy, delicious, yummy treat is a family favorite, especially when paired with chicken dipping sauce. Think Pringles chicken nuggets, but I also like to call them Chicken Pringlers.
Dinner with Pringle chicken is always a huge hit, and I love that you can make it with different flavors.
Ingredient and Substitution Notes:
You really only need 4 ingredients to make Pringles coated chicken…
- Pringles – You can use whatever flavor you want. We've used regular and cheese. We've even used gluten-free versions of these tasty chips.
- Seasoned Salt – This just gives extra flavor to the chicken and the crispy coating.
- Boneless Skinless Chicken Breasts – You can also use thigh meat, which gives a juicier, sometimes more tender, chicken nugget. Many prefer to use wings, as well.
- Buttermilk – You can use regular buttermilk, you can mix up buttermilk powder into liquid, or you can make your own buttermilk with the same measure of milk but add a tablespoon of vinegar.
How to Make Pringles Chicken
A big plus is that this Pringles chicken recipe is so easy to make. Before getting started, be sure to pre-heat the oven to 400°F and grease a 16×20 baking sheet, so everything's ready to go.
Here's how to bread the chicken and bake it…
- First crush the Pringles, using a gallon bag and rolling pin or a food processor. Then add the crushed chips or potato crisps to a gallon bag with the seasoned salt, seal the bag, and shake it around to mix.
- Cut the chicken breast into small 1-2 inch nuggets.
- Dip the nuggets in the buttermilk.
- Then place the nuggets, 2-3 at a time, into the gallon bag, and shake them around to coat them with the Pringles chip breading.
- Place the nuggets in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Then bake the Pringles crusted chicken at 400°F for about 20 minutes, or 'til they're cooked thru. At this point, you can remove them from the oven and let stand, uncovered, about 5-10 minutes to crisp up even more.
Serve it with your favorite chicken dipping sauce, with fries or salad on the side.
Pringles breaded chicken is really good and has such a delicious flavor. I can't wait to try making it again with more flavors like Barbecue or Dill Pickle.
Expert Tips and Recipe FAQ's
While I prefer to make this oven baked chicken, you can also use an air fryer to make Pringles fried chicken. Just pop it in the air fryer for the appropriate amount of time for fried chicken to cook internally and crisp up.
Sure! Yes, you totally can make this into tenders; just cut the chicken into longer strips rather than nuggets.
