Air Fryer Cornflake-Crusted Chicken Tenders
This crusting takes chicken from drab to fab! With less than 8 ingredients it's also fast to prepare! I use seasonings from the Savory Spice Shop®, however you can use Italian seasoning in place of the cantanzaro herbs.
Ingredients
Egg wash:
-
1 egg
-
1 tablespoon pesto
-
1 pinch salt
Dry mix:
-
1 cup crushed cornflakes
-
1 ounce finely shredded Parmesan cheese
-
½ teaspoon cantanzaro herbs (such as Savory Spice Shop®)
-
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
-
1 pinch salt
-
1 pound chicken tenders
Description
-
Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
-
Mix together egg, pesto, and salt in a shallow dish. In a separate dish mix together cornflake crumbs, Parmesan cheese, cantanzaro herbs, garlic, and salt.
-
Dip each piece of chicken piece first in egg wash, then dredge through the cornflake mixture, shaking off excess breading. Place chicken pieces in the air fryer basket.
-
Air fry for 5 minutes, rearrange chicken pieces, and fry until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes more.
