Ingredients
15 ingredients- 1.5 lbs chicken tenders (approx 12 tenders - thawed)
- 1/2 cup buttermilk (or use this substitution: 1/2 tablespoon white vinegar + enough milk to measure 1/2 cup)
- 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1/2 tsp celery seed
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp dried thyme
- 1/4 tsp dried oregano
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/8 tsp cayenne
- avocado or olive oil spray
Method
7 steps- Place the chicken tenders in a ziplock bag and pour the buttermilk into the bag. Squeeze the air out and seal the bag. Let marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes
- In a shallow bowl combine the panko bread crumbs, flour, baking powder, and spices.
- Remove the chicken strips from the buttermilk with a fork, shake off excess buttermilk, and dredge in the breadcrumb mixture to coat on all sides.
- Spray the bottom of the air fryer pan.
- Put the chicken fingers in the air fryer basket, lightly spray with your favorite oil spray, then air fry at 375˚F/191˚C for 10-12 minutes until internal temperature reads 165˚F/74˚C and the chicken tenders are golden brown and crispy. You'll want to flip the chicken at about half way through cooking time.
- If making your chicken tenders in batches, simply keep cooked chicken warm in a 160˚F/77˚C oven. You can re-crisp in the airfryer for a minute, if needed.
- Serve with your favorite dip!
