Perfect crunchy and spicy chicken tenders cooked in 20 minutes!
Servings: 4
Equipment
- Air Fryer
Ingredients
- 8 chicken thinly pounded tenders
- 2 eggs
- 2/3 cup Frank's Red Hot Buffalo Sauce plus more for dipping Add more if you want it spicier
- 1 cup flour
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika
- 1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
- 2 cups panko breading
- salt and pepper
- Blue Cheese Dressing or Ranch optional for dipping
Instructions
- Set out 3 shallow bowls for dredging the chicken
- In one bowl combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne.
- 2nd bowl, the 2 eggs and buffalo hot sauce. Whisk
- Pour the breading in freezer size sandwich bag, seal, and smash the crumbs to a finer texture. I find a rolling pin works well. Add to the 3rd and last shallow bowl.
- Season the tenders with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Dip the tenders one at a time in the flour mix, shake off the excess, then into the egg, and last the breading. Press the breading into the tender to cover it evenly.
- Move to a tray or plate. Continue with all the tenders and pop in the fridge for 10-20 minutes.
- When ready to cook set the Air fryer to 400° In the air fryer add a few tenders at a time but do not layer.
- Air-fry for 8-10 minutes, then flip and continue cooking 8-10 minutes more. Move to a cutting board or platter, cover with foil. Continue air frying the rest.
- ENJOY!
