Ingredients
- ¾ pound chicken tenders
- FOR THE BREADING
- 2 eggs, beaten
- ½ cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp salt
- 1 tsp black pepper
- 2 Tbsp olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the Airfryer to 330°F. In three separate bowls, set aside the breadcrumbs, eggs and flour. Season the breadcrumbs with salt and pepper. Add olive oil to the breadcrumbs and mix well. Place the chicken in the flour, then dip into the eggs and finally coat with the breadcrumbs. Press to ensure breadcrumbs are coated securely and evenly to the chicken. Shake off any excess breading prior to placing in the cooking basket. Cook the chicken tenders for 10 minutes at 330°F and then for 5 minutes at 390°F or until golden brown.
Gourmet Geek Tip
Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken so the coating stays in place. | Cook in batches rather than crowding the basket. | Serve with: Honey mustard, ranch, or French fries.
