Main Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb chicken tenders
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs preferably seasoned
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 0.75 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 2 large eggs beaten

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
  • In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  • Dip each chicken tender into the flour mixture, then into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs.
  • Place the coated chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer, avoiding overcrowding.
  • Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  • Remove from air fryer, let rest for 2 minutes, and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes

For extra crispiness, lightly spray the chicken tenders with cooking spray before air frying.
