This summer when we were camping in the Olympic National Park, my neice Christi had just about had it with the non-fast camp food. She was starving so she was eating what I served but she was in desparate need of a fast food fix. That is pretty hard to find in the middle of a mountain wilderness. I was planning to grill some chicken but I looked at my ingredients to see what I could come up with. This was when I created Frito Fried Chicken. John and Joe were also grateful for the fast-food fix after 4 days of the really healthy stuff. John was pretty amazed that something so good could be made with the supples in a camp kitchen. I also made this recipe when Chris and Megan were over. Chris wanted Megan to add this on to her list of the 5 recipes she knows how to cook.
Frito Fried Chicken
About 1 1/2 pounds of chicken tenders
About 1/2 C flour
2 or 3 eggs beaten with about 1/2 cups milk
1 bag of finely crushed Fritos
Oil for frying
Dredge the chicken in the flour to lightly dust. Dip the chicken in the egg/milk mixture then roll in the Fritos. Fry in hot oil for about 3 minutes on each side. Drain on a paper towel. Sprinkle with salt. This is really good with a honey mustard dip or with ketchup and fries.
Honey Mustard Sauce
1/2 C dijon mustard
1/2 C mayo
1/4 C honey
Mix this until well blended.
