Description

These Air Fryer Cornflake Chicken Tenders are a crispy and healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken. Coated in crunchy cornflakes and seasoned to perfection, they cook quickly in the air fryer, resulting in a golden, tender interior. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or snack!

Ingredients 

  • 1 pound boneless, skinless, chicken tenders
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/2 cup flour, any type
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 cups Cornflakes, crushed

Instructions

  • Spray your air fryer basket with olive oil spray.
  • Preheat your air fryer at 350 degrees F for 5 minutes, air fryer setting.
  • In a medium-sized mixing bowl, mix the egg, milk, flour, salt, and black pepper.
  • In another mixing bowl, pour the cornflakes.
  • Take your chicken tender and dip it into the wet batter, and then into the cornflakes. Press the cornflakes onto the chicken so it’s fully covered.
  • Set the coated chicken tenders into the air fryer basket, spraying them with olive oil, and then set the timer for 5 minutes.
  • Flip, spray again, and air fry for another 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Plate, serve, and enjoy!
