Method
Preparation
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coating
- Dip each chicken tender into the flour, shaking off the excess.
- Then, dip it in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.
Cooking
- Arrange the coated chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
- Lightly spray them with cooking spray.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes or until they are golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway for even crispiness.
Serving
- Serve hot with your choice of dipping sauces, fresh salad, or crispy fries.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken tenders in buttermilk for a few hours before breading. Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for the best crispiness. Experiment with different seasonings in the breadcrumb mixture, like Italian seasoning or chili powder, for a fun twist.
