Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Tenders

Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Tenders are a healthier alternative to fried chicken tenders. They are juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside, made with simple ingredients and cooked in an air fryer.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon water

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs and water.
  4. Dip each chicken tender in the egg mixture, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Place the chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer.
  6. Cook for 10 minutes, flip, and cook for another 5-7 minutes until golden and crispy.
  7. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Ensure the chicken tenders are evenly coated for maximum crispiness.
  • Do not overcrowd the air fryer basket to allow proper air circulation.
  • Adjust cooking time based on the thickness of the tenders.
