Crispy Air Fryer Cornflake Chicken Fingers
Ingredients
  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup corn flakes, crushed
  • 1 serving avocado oil cooking spray
Instructions
1
Preheat your air fryer to the optimal temperature of 375 degrees Fahrenheit, or 190 degrees Celsius.
2
Next, prepare your chicken by sprinkling it with a blend of herbs and spices commonly used in poultry dishes, along with a pinch of salt and a few grinds of black pepper.
3
In a small, shallow dish, gently beat an egg until it becomes smooth and free of lumps. On a separate, clean plate, arrange a layer of crushed cornflakes.
4
Then, take your chicken and dip it into the beaten egg, making sure to coat it evenly. After that, press the chicken into the layer of crushed cornflakes, ensuring a uniform covering.
5
Place the coated chicken in the air fryer basket and lightly spray it with avocado oil to prevent sticking.
6
Cook the chicken in the preheated air fryer for 7-8 minutes, or until it reaches a golden brown color. Flip the chicken over and spray with avocado oil again before continuing to cook for an additional 3-5 minutes.
7
Finally, use a food thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken. It should reach at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit, or 74 degrees Celsius, to ensure it is cooked through.
