Jalapeno Kettle Chip Crusted Chicken with Jalapeno Ranch

First off, thank you all for your iPhone app suggestions! I have loved checking them all out! 🙂

So, do you remember that photo I tweeted last night (If you couldn’t tell, I’m totally loving the Instragram App)? Well, this is what it looked like prior to being demolished:

Hubs and I are sort of obsessed with Kettle Brand potato chips. In fact, I hardly ever buy them because we eat the entire bag in a day or two (just keepin’ it real). My absolute favorite is the Salt and Vinegar flavor… those babies are dangerous (aka: flipping UH.MAZING.).

Well, I recently had a hankering for some Salt and Vinegar Kettle Chips and walked over (yes, I basically live next door) to Publix only to find that they were <GASP> out of them! How dare you, Publix! haha

Well, I have to say, I am now glad they were out because it forced me to broaden my flavor horizon. I saw the Jalapeno flavor and I just knew that I was on to something good! I brought them home and opened up the bag and before the hubs and I knew it, the bag was GONE. oops. 😉 Anyhow, if you like a little kick (which you KNOW hubs and I do), these are your new chip flavor…

You’re welcome.

So what does all of this have to do with dinner last night? Well, I got the brilliant idea to crust some chicken in those said jalapeno chips. I of course had to go buy another bag (plus a spare bag for good measure haha).

Excellent decision, my friends.

Now, what does one pair Jalapeno Kettle Chip Crusted Chicken with??? Why, homemade buttermilk jalapeno ranch, of course! And I opted for a side of roasted broccoli to counteract the oils in the kettle chip (oh yah, and that ranch sauce too hah).

This dish is not for the faint of heart. It’s got a bit of a kick to it (not, like crazy burns your mouth off like thai food kind of kick), but it definitely gives your tongue a little tingle. If you’re not into spicy, try this with another flavor of Kettle chips omit the jalapenos from the sauce (even though it’s totally sacrilegious in my books).

Here’s the thing, my geneology may tell me that I’m a European Mutt: Swedish, Irish, German, Dutch, and English (talk about a mix!). However, my stomach tells me I’m Mexican. This girl loves her some spicy food! I. can’t. help. myself. If you are anything like me – you. will. love. this.

Enjoy!
