Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
Ingredients
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins
  • cooking spray
Instructions
1
Preheat the air fryer to its maximum temperature, as specified by the manufacturer's guidelines.
2
Mix together flour, paprika, parsley, seasoned salt, and pepper in a large container to create the dry coating. In a separate vessel, whisk the egg until it is fully incorporated.
3
Coat each chicken tender with the dry mixture by gently pressing it onto the meat, ensuring an even layer.
4
Apply a light dusting of cooking spray to the basket and fill it with as many coated chicken tenders as possible, leaving a small gap between each piece to allow for even cooking.
5
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken tenders with additional cooking spray to prevent drying out during the cooking process.
6
Place the coated chicken tenders in the preheated air fryer and cook for 8 minutes, flipping them halfway through to ensure even cooking.
7
Use an instant-read thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken, aiming for 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Continue cooking for an additional 8 minutes or until the desired temperature is reached.
8
Repeat the process with any remaining chicken tenders to achieve the perfect crispy exterior and juicy interior.
