Cut the chicken breasts into nugget size pieces.

Beat the egg in a bowl with the hot sauce.

Put the Cheetos, kosher salt, and pepper in a gallon size plastic bag and crush them with a rolling pin or cup until they are crumbs.

Place the chicken nuggets in the egg mixture, then into the Cheetos crumbs in the bag. Use your fingers to press the Cheetos crumbs into the chicken.

Place the chicken nuggets on a wire baking rack over a lined baking sheet.

Note: If you don't have a wire rack, just place them right on the lined baking sheet.

Bake the chicken nuggets in a 400 degree oven for 25 minutes. Serve with ranch dressing if desired.
