Ingredients:
1 pound chicken tenders
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
1 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cooking spray
Instructions:
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
Set up three separate coating stations: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and a third with a mixture of breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Coat each chicken tender with flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and then generously coat it with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken for optimal adherence.
Arrange the coated chicken tenders in a single layer within the air fryer basket, ensuring they aren’t overcrowded. You may need to cook them in batches.
Lightly spritz the coated Chicken Tenders with cooking spray to enhance their crispiness.
Place the basket in the preheated air fryer and cook the chicken tenders for approximately 10-12 minutes. Flip them halfway through the cooking time for even browning. Cooking duration might vary depending on your air fryer’s size and the thickness of the chicken tenders.
The chicken tenders are ready when they boast a gorgeous golden hue and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the delectable Crispy chicken tenders from the air fryer and allow them to rest for a brief period before serving. Pair your Crispy Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Tenders with your preferred assortment of dipping sauces and bask in the symphony of delightful crunch and succulent flavour.
