Equipment

  • 1 air fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb Chicken tenders
  • 2 whole Eggs
  • 2 tbsp Hot sauce
  • 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 1.5 tbsp Italian seasoning
  • 1.5 tbsp Parsley dried
  • 1 tbsp Black pepper
  • 1 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 1 tbsp Paprika

Instructions
 

  • First set up your breading station for your tenders. In one small bowl, crack your eggs and add your hot sauce and whisk until fully incorporated
  • In another large bowl, mix your Italian seasoning, parsley and panko crumbs together to make the breading mixture
  • Next you want to season your chicken tenders with the black pepper, cayenne pepper and paprika. Mix these all together in order to make a dry rub for the tenders and season liberally
  • Once you have your tenders seasoned, you are now ready to bread them
  • Take one of your seasoned chicken tenderloins and dip in the egg wash mixture
  • Next coat the tender in the seasoned panko breadcrumb mixture. Once all sides are fully coated, place in your air fryer basket and spray with a bit of spray pam or olive oil spray
  • Repeat this process until all tenders are coated and placed in single layer in the basket
  • Cook your tenders until they are golden brown flipping halfway through the cooking process
  • You will know they are done when they have reached an internal temperature of 160 degrees f
