Pour buttermilk in a bowl. Place the strips/wings in the bowl; coat the chicken with the buttermilk. Cover the bowl; place in the fridge for about 2 hours.
Crush Doritos in a ziplock bag so that they are the texture similar to panko or coarse bread crumbs. Set aside in a large bowl.
Place flour and cayenne pepper, if using, in one bowl and eggs in another. Whisk the eggs so that they are well mixed.
Preheat oven to 400; spray a baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Set up the four bowls in this order:
1. bowl with the chicken
2. bowl with the flour
3. bowl with the beaten eggs
4. bowl with the crushed Doritos
Using a fork, lift out chicken strips/wings one at a time; let excess buttermilk drain off. Place them in the flour; dredge them in the flour so that each is coated in flour. Lift the strips/wings out of the flour; shake off any excess.
Place strips/wings in the egg wash; evenly coat them in egg. Lift them out of the egg; dredge them in the crushed Doritos. Place the coated strips/wings on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake 15-20 minutes, turning halfway through.
Serve with buttermilk ranch dip, BBQ sauce or your favorite dip.
