1 ½ cups crunchy panko crumbs
→ For Frying
11 -
Veggie or canola oil for deep frying
# Instructions:
01 -
Throw the cream cheese, grated cheddar, bacon bits, dry ranch mix (if you're using it), powdered garlic, and snipped chives into a bowl. Stir everything until it's all smooth and mixed up good.
02 -
Find matching Dorito chips that look about the same size. Smear some of your cheese mix onto one chip, then squish another chip on top like a tiny sandwich. Keep going till you've used up your stuff.
03 -
Put out three separate bowls - flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and those panko crumbs in the last one.
04 -
Roll each Dorito sandwich in the flour first, then dunk it in egg, and finally roll it around in the panko until it's totally covered.
05 -
Pour about 2 inches of oil in a deep pan and heat it to 175°C. Drop your coated Doritos in small batches and cook for about 1-2 minutes each side until they turn nice and golden.
06 -
Lift the fried Doritos out with a draining spoon and let them dry on some paper towels. They're best eaten hot with some dips like ranch, sour cream, or spicy cheese sauce.
# Notes:
01 -
You can get these ready through the coating step and keep them in the fridge for up to 2 hours before you fry them.
