    If you are having a Super Bowl party or even just hanging out at home watching the game, I'm gonna bet you will have some chips to snack on and possibly even some dip. Am I right?

    Of course, the game is long and you might want something substantial to eat, like say, chicken.

    I thought it would be fun to put the chips, dip, and chicken altogether and put them on a stick because people seem to have an affinity for food on a skewer.

    Why go through the hassle of dipping your chips in a dip and take the chance of making a mess. Instead, make these Chip and Dip Chicken Skewers and you won't just make it easier on your guests, you will create a delicious appetizer that will make everyone's mouth water.

    This recipe is so easy. You start by marinating the chicken in a combination of French onion dip and buttermilk which not only flavors the chicken tenders but helps to keep them moist while in the oven.

    Once out of their chip dip bath, the chicken tenders are skewered then coated in crushed potato chips and baked until crispy. Served with more chip dip, these are sure to appeal to most hungry football fans.

    Crush potato chips. It's easiest in the food processor, but you can also just smash them in the bag using your hands, a rolling pin, a meat mallet, or the back of a pan. However you do it, you want pretty small crumbs.

      I have been making chip-coated chicken for years (stuffing-coated is delicious too) but I never would have thought of dip and buttermilk with it, that is BRILLIANT! Will DEFINITELY be trying this. Thank you so much. Big fan!

        Chicken fingers are so easy to over cook, so I use the buttermilk/onion dip as the perfect marinade. I've cooked these too long, and they still come out nice and tender. Serving it with the dip is really the only way to eat these, IMO!

      Beth, these look wonderful - so moist and tender. I don't cook much, but I really really want to give these a
      try - for any occasion, maybe even surprise my husband and make them for dinner!! 🙂 I love that they're baked not fried!
