Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 2 lb. chicken tenderloins*
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup white whole wheat flour
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • ~1 tablespoon olive oil (for drizzling)

Instruction

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400º.
  • Next, add the panko, flour, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to a large bowl and stir everything together until combined.
  • Crack eggs into a separate bowl and whisk the eggs until combined.
  • Then, dip each chicken tender into the egg wash, completely coating each piece of chicken. Let the excess egg drip off of each tender. Then, dip the chicken into the bread crumb mixture, coating each side. It’s easiest if you do this one at a time to make sure that the chicken gets fully coated.
  • Place 3 or 4 chicken tenders in the air fryer, making sure they are not touching, and drizzle them with olive oil (or spray them with cooking spray). Air fry for 7-9 minutes or until crispy. The internal temperature should read at least 165ºF.
  • Repeat steps 5 and 6 until all the chicken tenders are crispy.
  • Remove the chicken from the air fryer and enjoy!
