Like any good Daytonian, I usually go A-1 ape when Mikesell's comes out with a new flavor. In fact, they have yet to do something I don't like. Tuscan spice, new kettle chips flavors, cinnamon puffcorns - they can do no wrong. If you ask around Dayton, usually the only complaint is that they might make a wonderful flavor that's limited edition and haven't brought it back yet (ahem, Habanero Lime). 

Dayton's own Mikesell's just added two new flavors to their Kettle Cooked line, Sour Cream & Onionand Bold Jamaican Jerk. Now, the sour cream and onion are delicious, but not earth shattering.  The Jerk, however, are indeed, BOLD.  Spicy as shit, really.  Mr. FvF would basically eat pure fire, and usually mocks me when I say a food item is hot or spicy, but even he could admit these had a decent kick.  Until February, the Kettle Cooked line was limited to original, reduced fat, Groovy and Barbecue.  If I remember correctly, they had discontinued their Sour Cream & Onion flavor a few years ago, so I'm sure its second coming as a Kettle chip will be welcomed with open arms. 

We've had some extra chips laying around ever since the MBQ practice round, so we decided to use what was left and coat some chicken in it. Mr. FvF said he'd had it before and loved it, so I figured it couldn't be too hard. Not much of a recipe, really. Crush up 1-2 cups of your favorite chips, drag some chicken breast through a butter or milk wash, then into the chip crumbs, and bake for about 30 minutes.

It sounded like a good idea, but I just wasn't impressed. We used sour cream & onion and there just wasn't enough flavor. I added extra salt to the chip crumbs, but that didn't do the trick. I think I may try this again with Mike Sell's Cheddar & Sour cream chips, and a good deal more salt. It was fine, but not "make again" good.
