When I would eat out before I had the Littles I would always order the same item from Chili’s. I would aways order Chili’s Chicken Crispers. It will always be one of my favorite foods.

Now that I have a family of 5 it does not make a whole lot on sense to eat out when I can make the exact same thing at home for a fraction of the cost! This recipe has very little ingredients but it still packs a tasty punch!!!

We try and only eat fried food once a week so I try to make sure it is something that is worth it! Poppa Bear bought me an air fryer months ago, but I still have not opened it. It is one of those huge rectangle air fryers and I don’t have the counter space for it… Honestly, I have been tempted to just put it on the kitchen table when in use then I can put it away after every use…
