Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- ½ cup breadcrumbs like Panko
- ½ teaspoon salt or to taste
- ½ teaspoon pepper or to taste
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 large eggs beaten
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
Instructions
- Prepare the dredge: Preheat the air fryer to 400℉. Grab 3 shallow plates. Mix the breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in one of the plates. Beat the eggs in the second plate, and add the flour to the third plate.
- Dredge the tenders: Coat each tender in flour, then the beaten egg, and finally the breadcrumb mixture.
- Air fry the tenders: Add the tenders to the air fryer basket and lightly spray them with cooking spray. Cook for 8 minutes, flip the tenders, spray with cooking spray, and cook for another 7 minutes or until golden brown. You might have to do this in batches if you can’t fit all the chicken in one go.
- Serve: Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.

Notes
- Store leftover tenders in an airtight container or large resealable bag in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- To reheat them and keep the crispiness, you can use your air fryer. Preheat it to 350F and cook the tenders for 5-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they're hot.
