food Made Flamin Hot Cheetos Fried Chicken - Added 1Tbs 7Pot / 1Tbs blended pepper powder to Breading- st

Delicious as it was, there was absolutely no spiciness to the chicken. It kinda broke my heart.. And trust me, those powders are plenty fresh and plenty hot! Any Ideas how to make the spiciness live through the frying process?

Add more powder! Dude that looks insanely delicious! My face is lit up right now.

I have got to try that!

I added 2 tbs of powder, but there was 0 heat... none! I think the frying saps out the capsaicin...

Maybe mix up some powder with some melted butter and inject it into the chicken before frying! Bet it would work.

I like it!

Should work. I'll try it tomorrow. I have my wife making a list right now for the grocery store. I told her I need Flamin Hot Cheetos, and solo cups for my plants.

The cheese content would also likely down the heat. I usually just dip Cheetos into fatalii puree - so good!

You could sprinkle the powder on right as it comes out so it will stick to it.

You had me at Flaming Hot Cheetos. That sounded so epic I shed a tear.

+1 on the powder butter injection

powder dusting post frying would be the way to go IMO

A lot of the cap oil could be lost in the frying. Powder afterwards or toss in the grease left in pan

If someone said it, I can't read as it is too early. Add one step to your process.

Dredge chicken in powder
Dredge in flour
Egg
Cheetos
Fry

You left out #6: hurl

Why not just do powders & not Cheetos? Am I missing something?

Yes, you are missing Cheetos

I could see using crushed Flamin' Hots for breading. I might have to experiment with this at some point.

But if you want to feel the burn, use the pepper powders at the end, either sprinkling it over the freshly fried chicken or mixing it up in a wing sauce.

I think y'all are :high:

I can't speak for anyone else, but I'm 100% sober right now, and I am still interested in using crushed Flamin' Hot Cheetos as chicken breading. These were the first spicy thing I ever ate when I was a kid, so I will always have a soft spot for them.

Lucky Dog Hot Sauce · Jan 28, 2013

I don't hate the Flamin' Hot stuff though it was decades after I was eating spicy foods that they came out - hey, I'm old and live in a place with lots of Thai, African, Mexican and other fiery foods...but that said, Cheetos are kinda full of chemicals and have that "chemical heat" to them - I just have a hard time taking any food made with them seriously.

No offense intended. This just looks gross to me. Would I try a piece? Oh hell yes I would. but I might have to :high:

first.

Maybe after rolling them in Cheetah dandruff, leave them to marinate over night in the fridge,
let the Powder penetrate the chicken.
