Instructions
- Marinate chicken tenders in buttermilk at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Combine flour, cornstarch, seasonings and salt & pepper to taste in a bowl. Whisk egg with 1 tablespoon water in a separate bowl and combine seasoned breadcrumbs and cornflakes in a 3rd bowl.
- Remove chicken tenders from the buttermilk allowing any excess to drip off. Pat dry with paper towel.
- Dredge chicken in the flour mixture to lightly coat it. Dip in egg and finally dip into the bread crumb mixture.
- Spray chicken with cooking spray.
- Preheat air fryer to 390°F. Add chicken tenders to the air fryer in a single layer and cook 11 minutes.
Notes
- To cook in batches, cook all chicken tenders in small batches. Once all tenders have been cooked, add all to the air fryer at once and heat for 2 minutes.

- Pat chicken dry so the breading can fully adhere (this also keeps them from steaming).
- Be sure the bread crumbs and crushed cornflakes are smoothly pulsed so they can coat the chicken pieces evenly.
- Be sure not to overcook. Chicken should reach 165°F.
