Ingredients

4-6 Chicken (thighs)
1 packet Potato Chips (plain)
1 cup Cheese (grated)
Butter (melted)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 180°C.
  2. Brush 4–6 chicken thighs with melted butter.
  3. Arrange the chicken in a greased ovenproof dish.
  4. Crush 1 packet of plain potato chips and mix with 1 cup grated cheese.
  5. Press a generous handful of the chip-and-cheese mixture on top of each chicken thigh.
  6. Bake uncovered for 1 hour, or until the chicken is cooked through and tender.
  7. Serve hot with a salad or your favourite sides.

Hints & Tips

  • Use skin-on thighs – Skin-on chicken thighs will stay juicier and give extra flavour under the cheesy crust.
  • Choose your chips wisely – Plain chips work best, but you can use a flavoured variety for a twist.
  • Add a herb kick – Mix in some dried oregano or parsley with the chip topping for added flavour.
  • Check for doneness – Ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 75°C before serving.
  • Make it spicier – Add a little paprika or chilli powder to the topping for heat.
