Air Fried Chicken Fries with Chipotle Ranch

Air Fried Chicken Fries with Chipotle Ranch.  Breaded chicken cut into a fry shape tossed in bread crumbs and air fried to crispy perfection.  These tender chicken fries are served with a homemade chipotle ranch that pairs perfectly while providing a little spice.  These little bites are a kid friendly recipe that the whole family can enjoy!  They are also perfect little bites to serve on football Sunday!  Chicken nuggets have always been my thing.  My McDonalds order has always been, and still is, chicken nuggets.  These are basically that just in fry form which is pretty delicious if you ask me!  They become so tender when air fried, you definitely won't be able to eat just one!  Also, really big on making my own sauces.  It is amazing how much more fresh this chipotle ranch is than one you would buy in a store.  It is absolutely delicious and I can't get enough of it! 

Ingredients:

For the chicken fries:

• chicken breast
• egg
• bread crumb

For the chipotle ranch:

• sour cream
• mayonnaise
• dill
• parsley
• garlic powder
• onion powder
• salt
• pepper
• Chipotle Tabasco
• hot sauce

The Steps:

Slice the chicken breast into fry shapes.  Coat each chicken fried in whisked eggs and then transfer to bread crumb and coat completely.  Air fry the chicken fries at 370 degrees for 8 minutes.  While the chicken fries are cooking, mix the ranch ingredients.  In a bowl, add sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, garlic powder, salt and pepper, onion powder, fresh chopped dill, fresh chopped parsley, Chipotle Tabasco, and hot sauce.  Serve chicken fries with chipotle ranch immediately.

Do I use panko bread crumb? Or regular bread crumbs?

You can use either!  I used regular!  You can also use panko, it will be a little crispier but you may need to double coat the chicken since it doesn't stick as well! 

Can I make normal ranch?

Absolutely!  To do this just omit the Chipotle Tabasco and hot sauce and you will have a normal ranch!
