    In food processor, pulse DORITOS® Nacho Cheese Flavored Tortilla Chips until finely crushed to make 1 ⅓ cups.

    In large bowl, stir together chicken and 2 tbsp mayonnaise until well coated. Add 2/3 cup crushed tortilla chips and toss until chicken is well coated.

  • 3

    Preheat air fryer to 400°F according to manufacturer’s instructions. In batches to avoid crowding, arrange breaded chicken nuggets in air-fryer basket. Air-fry, turning once halfway through, for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

    Meanwhile, in small bowl, whisk together remaining mayonnaise and remaining crushed tortilla chips until blended.

    Serve nuggets with nacho cheese mayo for dipping.

Tips & Tricks

  • Alternatively, bake chicken in oven. Arrange breaded chicken nuggets on parchment paper–lined baking sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart. Bake in preheated 425°F oven, turning once, for 10 to 15 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.
  • For a sweet nacho cheese dipping sauce, whisk together 2/3 cup crushed tortilla chips with 1 cup of your favorite barbecue sauce.
