Easy Weeknight Air-Fryer Chicken Tenders
Ingredients
- 1 pkg boneless, skinless chicken tenders (about 1-1/2 lbs)
- 1 c gluten-free bread crumbs (or Panko bread crumbs)
- 1 egg, whisked
- ¼ c whole buttermilk
- 1 TBSP Paprika
- 1 TBSP garlic powder
- ½ TBSP salt & pepper
Optional:
- Guy Fieri’s Flavortown Top Secret Sauce, or dipping sauce of choice
- Avocado Cooking Spray
Instructions
Pat chicken dry & season with a little salt & pepper.
In a dredging dish, add the whisked egg & buttermilk.
In another dredging dish, add the bread crumbs, paprika, garlic powder, S & P.
Dip chicken tenders one at a time in egg mixture and then roll in bread crumb mixture and set on a plate.
Preheat Air Fryer to 400.
Line tenders in batches (not to overlap) in the preheated Air Fryer, & spray tops with avocado oil spray.
Turn tenders oiled side down & spray the other sides.
Air Fry for 6 minutes. Then flip the tenders and Air Fry for 4-5 additional minutes.
Place first batch in a tortilla warmer to keep warm while second batch is frying.
Serve with any side dish. (We like pre-chopped veggies roasted at 400 for 20 min with some olive oil and salt & pepper)
Drizzle on your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
