Cooking Guide

Cheetos%2520Fried%2520Chicken%2520Sandwich_-044_1200x1200.png

  1. In large bowl, whisk together buttermilk, 1/4 cup hot sauce, garlic powder, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper. Submerge chicken into marinade (it should be immersed). Cover and marinate in refrigerator for at least 2 hours or up to 12 hours (overnight is best).

  2. In food processor, pulse CHEETOS® FLAMIN’ HOT® Cheese Flavored Snacks until finely ground to make 1 ¾ cups.

  3. In another large bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, cayenne, paprika, remaining salt and remaining black pepper. Stir in ground CHEETOS®.

  4. Remove chicken from marinade (reserve marinade for double dredging). Dip chicken in CHEETOS® mixture until coated. Dip back in marinade and then dredge again in CHEETOS® mixture until well coated. Arrange on parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Let stand for 10 minutes to allow coating to set.

  5. In high-sided skillet set over medium heat, add enough oil to reach 3 inches up sides. Heat until shimmering or an instant-read thermometer registers 350°F. Using tongs, transfer chicken to hot oil. Deep-fry, turning once, for 6 minutes or until golden brown all over. Transfer to paper towel-lined plate to drain.

  6. In small bowl, stir together mayonnaise and remaining hot sauce.

  7. Assemble fried chicken in buns with lettuce, tomato, pickles and spicy mayonnaise.
