So yum! This has been my go-to recipe for chicken strips for the past several months. It’s delish on its own, but a great recipe base too- I often add a handful of other crushed potato chips, change up the spices, or even add a little bit of panko (I’m not GF) for a little extra crunch. Recently added a handful of TJ’s patio potato chips and added so much flavor! Thanks Pat!

These plantain chips have recently become my favorite snack! I just stocked up on a new bag yesterday and then saw this recipe and had the rest of the ingredients on hand so I had to try. I followed the recipe to a T and they came out perfectly! Thanks for sharing, I will be making them again soon.
