Air Fryer Spicy Chicken Tenders
Servings 4 chicken strips
Ingredients
- 1 chicken breast cut into strips or you can use chicken tenders – if so, skip step 1 of instructions
- 1 cups of flour
- 1 egg
- 1/8 cup of milk
- 1 Teaspoon of salt
- 1 teaspoon of pepper
- 1 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon of your favorite hot sauce adjust according to your taste if you'd like
Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts into strips.
- Whisk eggs and mix the milk and hot sauce together in in a medium-sized bowl. In a separate bowl, mix the flour and spices together.
- Dip one chicken strip into the egg mixture, and then coat it in the flour mixture. Repeat for all strips.
- Place battered strips in the air fryer basket (lined with parchment paper), and spray generously with oil.
- Cook at 380 degrees for 10 minutes. Flip chicken tenders, spray with oil, and cook at 380 for 8 more minutes.
Notes
For crispier chicken tenders, give your chicken strips two coats of the flour mixture. You might have to use more of the the egg and milk mixture to get the flour mixture to stick.
You might like to make these into buffalo chicken strips too. Just add buffalo sauce after cooking.
