Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
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
- Following the manufacturer's instructions, heat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
- While it heats, mix the flour, paprika, parsley, seasoned salt and pepper in a large bowl. Beat the egg in another bowl.
- Coat each chicken tender in the seasoned flour, dip into the beaten egg and coat with seasoned flour again. Shake away the extra flour.
- 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.
- 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.
