Crumbed Chicken Tenderloins (Air Fried)
These air fryer chicken tenderloins beat chicken nuggets any day and the recipe is so simple. I tend to use chicken tenderloins but you can use sliced chicken breasts if easier.
Ingredients
-
1 large egg
-
½ cup dry bread crumbs
-
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
-
8 chicken tenderloins
Description
-
Gather all ingredients.
-
Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
Whisk egg in a small bowl.
-
Mix bread crumbs and oil together in a second bowl until mixture becomes loose and crumbly.
-
Dip each chicken tenderloin into the bowl of egg; shake off any residual egg. Dip chicken into crumb mixture, making sure it is evenly and fully covered.
-
Lay chicken tenderloins in the air fryer basket in an even layer.
-
Air-fry until no longer pink in the center, about 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Serve hot and enjoy!
