Description

These air fryer chicken tenders are dipped in egg, then coated in a seasoned flour of paprika, salt, pepper, and parsley for a flavorful crisp coating.

Ingredients

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon paprika
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 large egg
1 1/2 pounds chicken tenderloins
cooking spray

Directions

1 Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.
2 Meanwhile, combine flour, paprika, parsley, seasoned salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Beat egg in a separate bowl.
3 Dredge each chicken tender in seasoned flour. Dip in beaten egg, then back in seasoned flour.
4 Coat basket with cooking spray; place as many coated chicken tenders in the air fryer basket as you can without overcrowding. Lightly mist the tops of the tenders with cooking spray.
5 Cook in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes. Flip chicken over and lightly mist the tops with more cooking spray. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 7 to 8 minutes more. Repeat with any remaining chicken tenders.
