AIR FRYER CHICKEN TENDERS. 😍👊👌 and this recipe is next level amazzzzing.
Crispy on the outside and juicy inside
2 lb raw chicken tenders
1/2 cup pickle juice
1/2 cup milk
1 large eggs
Breading
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 Tablespoons powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
Place chicken tenders in a bowl or ziplock bag with the pickle juice and marinate for 30 minutes.
Make Breading:
Add flour, powdered sugar, paprika, black pepper, chili powder, salt, and baking powder to a ziplock bag.
Prep Egg Mixture: Add milk, and egg to a separate bowl and mix together. Preheat air fryer to 360 degrees.
Coat the chicken: Remove chicken from pickle marinade and add to the bowl with the egg mixture. Spoon out tenders, letting any excess egg mixture drip off, and place them in the ziplock bag with the dry seasonings. Seal and shake bag to evenly coat all of the chicken tenders.
Air Fry: Spray the bottom of the fry basket with nonstick cooking spray. Take each tender from the bag, shaking it well to get rid of any excess flour, and place tenders in a single layer in the bottom of the fry basket (maybe two batches). Space them out so they don't stick together. Generously spray the top of each piece of chicken with cooking spray so that the flour is not visible. Then flip the chicken over in the fry basket and spray the other side.
Air Fry the chicken tenders at 360 for 6 minutes. Open air fryer, flip chicken tenders to the other side, spray tops again with cooking spray. Increase air fryer temperature to 400 degrees and cook for 2-3 more minutes, or until crisp and cooked through.
