Ingredients
- 12 Chicken Tenders about 1¼ pounds
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 Tablespoon water
- 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
- ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- ¼ teaspoon onion powder
- Favorite dipping sauce (we love BBQ sauce)
Instructions
- Sprinkle chicken tenders with salt and pepper.
- In a small bowl, mix together eggs and water.
- In another medium bowl, mix together bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, garlic powder, and onion powder
- Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, then into the bread crumb mixture, making sure to shake off any excess mixture.
- Place a couple of chicken tenders in the air fryer basket. Put the basket into the inner pot, place the air fryer lid on top. Set the temperature to 400 degrees for 6 minutes. Take off the lid, flip each tender over, and cook for another 6 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and is golden on the outside.
- Repeat with remaining chicken tenders.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Depending on the thickness of your chicken tenders, you may need to cook them a minute or two longer until they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Dipping sauce is not included in nutritional calculation.
