Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast, cut into bite size pieces
  • salt to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chili lime seasoning, divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
  • 1/4 heaping teaspoon cayenne powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 bags Mariquitas Classics Lime Mariquitas Chips
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Zest of half a lime
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions

  1. Add the mariquitas chips to a food processor and grind them into fine crumbs. Add the crumbs to a plate. Add in lime zest and 1/2 tablespoon chili lime seasoning. Mix to combine. Set aside.
  2. On another plate, add the flour, the rest of the chili lime seasoning, granulated garlic, chili powder, cayenne powder, and a pinch of salt. Set aside. Combine melted butter and lime juice. Season chicken bites with salt.
