Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup finely grated Parmesan
  • 2 tbsp dry ranch seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 1 tbsp olive oil spray
  • Salt and pepper: ½ tsp each

Method
 

  1. Pat tenders dry and season with salt and pepper. I do this while peeling off a snack wrapper.
  2. Whisk eggs and milk in one bowl. Mix panko, Parmesan, ranch mix, and garlic powder in another.
  3. Dip each tender in egg, press into panko, and set on a tray. Press hard so crumbs stick.
  4. Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Spray tenders lightly with olive oil spray.
  5. Cook in a single layer for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and 165°F inside.
  6. Let rest 2 minutes. My youngest declared these “officially snackable.”
