Easy Super Bowl Appetizer Recipe - Chip and Dip Chicken Skewers (2024)

Coat chicken tenders in French Onion dip then roll in crushed potato chips to create these yummy Chip and Dip Chicken Skewers.These crispy chicken fingers are great to serve for dinner but also make a winning Super Bowl party appetizer.

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.

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.

Chip and Dip Chicken Skewers (makes about 15 skewers)

If you don't have buttermilk on hand, you can mix ½ cup whole milk with 1 ½ teaspoon white vinegar or lemon juice. Allow the milk to sit for 5 minutes, then proceed with the recipe.

Supplies Needed:

optional, food processor
cooling rack
non-stick cooking spray
baking sheet lined with tin foil for easy clean up
wood skewers

How to makeChip and Dip Chicken Skewers

Stir the French Onion Dip and buttermilk together in a shallow dish. Place the chicken tenders in the dish, making sure they are covered with the dip mixture. Cover and refrigerate for 30-60 minutes.

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.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.

Spray a cooling rack with non-stick spray. Set it over a tin foil-lined baking sheet. Remove chicken tenders from the marinade. Allow excess liquid to drain off. Season with salt and pepper, if using.

Skewer the chicken tenders, then coat them in the crushed potato chips. Set on the wire cooling rack.

Spray the chicken tenders with baking spray. Bake for 20 minutes.

Serve immediately with the remaining French onion dip.
