Ingredients

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon parsley flakes
  • 1 teaspoon seasoned salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1.5 pounds chicken tenderloins
  • cooking spray

Steps

  1. Following the manufacturer's instructions, heat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
  2. While it heats, mix the flour, paprika, parsley, seasoned salt and pepper in a large bowl. Beat the egg in another bowl.
  3. Coat each chicken tender in the seasoned flour, dip into the beaten egg and coat with seasoned flour again. Shake away the extra flour.
  4. Spray the air-fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the breaded tenders in a single layer without crowding, cooking in batches if necessary. Lightly mist their tops with cooking spray.
  5. After cooking in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes, turn the chicken over and lightly mist the tops with more cooking spray. Keep cooking until an instant-read thermometer in the chicken's center reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 7 to 8 minutes more. Cook any remaining tenders the same way.
