Chili's Chicken Crispers copycat with the delicious shatteringly crispy crust that Chili's crispers famously have, but made at home! So easy to make and also a great batter for fish too!

Back to Chili's today for one of my kids' favorite chicken tenders of all time. The original Chicken Crispers with that sort of fish and chips texture that's super different from most chicken tender recipes.

Most chicken tenders have a crispier, more  texture, but these are more of a cross between a tempura texture and a fish and chips texture, smoother, lighter batter and the edges, with the super crispy just batter that fried up is so light in texture you'll find yourself sneaking pieces of it while cooking.

Does Chili's use MSG?

Yes, the original recipe does call for MSG, but the copycat recipe swaps out the Accent Seasoning for chicken broth, per Todd Wilbur. In this swap it works well to emulate the same flavors.

Classic chicken tenders are best served with KFC Potato Wedges, KFC Coleslaw, Crispy Sweet Potato Fries or even your favorite potato salads.

Let's discuss the dipping sauces! There's two that are our absolute favorites at Chili's and they're both so EASY to make.

Deep Fryer: Easy for keeping temperature on point and kind of fun to use!
Chicken Base: I almost never buy boxes of broth because I keep the beef, chicken and vegetable version of this Better Than Bouillon.
