Typically viewed as empty carbs or unhealthy junk food, the popular cheese puff snack Cheetos are a guilty pleasure for kids and adults alike. The distinctly fluorescent orange dust that coats the crunchy snack is universally recognizable. Aside from stuffing a handful in your mouth though, it would seem there's no other way to enjoy the popular chip...right? 


Wrong! It turns out, with this clever recipe, you can add a flavorful little twist to your fried chicken using a bag of Cheetos. Grinding up Cheetos and using them as a crumb batter for fried chicken might seem like an unusual idea, but it's really based on a simple concept. Taking any sort of carb: chips, bread or even cereal, you can turn it into the crunchy exterior for your fried chicken as a creative alternative. You can spice up your chicken with a bit of nacho flavor using a bag of Doritos or add an irresistibly sweet crunch with some Frosted Flakes. Whatever you decide, the basic premise is outlined in this recipe - just substitute the Cheetos with whatever you'd like!
