Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (240 ml)
- 1 tablespoon paprika (15 g)
- 1 tablespoon parsley flakes (2 g)
- 1 teaspoon seasoned salt (5 g)
- 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (1 g)
- 1 large egg
- 5 pounds chicken tenderloins (680 g)
- cooking spray
Instructions
- Set your air fryer to heat up to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) as per the appliance’s guidelines.
- In the meantime, in a large bowl, mix together the flour, paprika, parsley flakes, seasoned salt, and black pepper. In another bowl, whisk the egg.
- Coat each chicken tender in the flour mixture, then immerse it in the whisked egg, and cover it again with the flour mixture.
- Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange the coated chicken tenders inside without overcrowding them. Lightly spray the tops of the tenders with cooking spray.
- Place in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes. Turn the chicken over and give the tops another light spray of cooking oil. Continue to cook until a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the chicken shows 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), approximately another 7 to 8 minutes. Repeat the process for any remaining tenders.
Notes
- Use whole wheat flour instead of all-purpose for added fiber.
- Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the flour for a spicy kick.
- Preheat the air fryer for even, crispy chicken tenders.
