I have a food confession. I love Nacho Cheese Doritos®. I seldom buy them because they're way too high in calories for this diet-conscious writer.
When I was a kid, there was a Frito-Lay commercial about Lay's Potato Chips®. The tagline was, "Bet you can't eat just one."
Well, that's anything by the Frito-Lay Corporation. I can't eat just one of their potato chips or of Doritos®.
However, I can justify buying a bag of Doritos® if I'm going to use them as the crumb coating for baked chicken. If I happen to munch a few of the trips while I'm putting the dish together, well, that's allowed. Chefs do that. Right.
So if you like the spicy taste of Doritos®, try this baked chicken. You'll love it!

Takeaway Truth
The spicy Doritos® perfectly seasons the chicken. I think you'll like this as much as I do.
