- 1 cup crushed spicy chips (e.g., Flamin’ Hot Cheetos, Takis)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F or heat oil in a pan for frying.
- Crush the spicy chips using a rolling pin or heavy mug.

- If baking, place cheese sticks on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spray lightly with cooking spray. Bake for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through.
