Preheat oven to 400 F.
Line a baking sheet with tinfoil and then place an ovenproof rack overtop. Set aside.
Place the cheetos in a food processor and blitz until finely ground. It's okay if the texture isn't completely uniform. (You can also use a large zip top bag and crush the Cheetos with a rolling pin.)
4 cups Red Hot Cheetos
Place the Cheetos in a shallow dish and set aside.
In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. Set aside.
2 eggs, 1/2 cup milk
In the final shallow dish, stir together the all-purpose flour and seasonings.
1/4 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika, 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Dip each chicken tenders in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg mixture, then finally coat completely in the Cheeto crumbs.
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenders
Place the Cheeto-coated chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 18-22 minutes, until chicken tenders reach an internal temperature of 165 F.
