Instructions

  1. Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper.
  2. Whisk the eggs in a shallow dish.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.
  4. Dip each chicken tender in the egg mixture and coat in the breadcrumbs.
  5. Place the chicken tenders in the air fryer.
  6. Cook at 400°F for 8 minutes, flipping the tenders halfway through.

Notes

  • Storage: Store air fryer chicken tenders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, or in the freezer for up to 3 months.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket; the chicken tenders should be placed in a single layer. Cook them in two batches if needed.
  • Panko breadcrumbs create a super crispy outside layer, but you can use normal breadcrumbs if that's what you have.
  • Check that the internal temperature of the tenders is at least 165°F before serving.
