Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1 tsp dried Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • 2 tbsp olive oil spray

Method
 

  1. Pat tenders dry and set up three bowls: flour, beaten eggs with milk, and panko mix (panko, Parmesan, seasonings).
  2. Dredge each tender in flour, dip in egg, then press into panko mix. Work fast so the kids don’t start a hunger riot.
  3. Preheat air fryer to 400°F. Spray basket lightly with oil.
  4. Place tenders in a single layer, spray tops lightly, and air fry 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and 165°F inside.
  5. Let rest 2 minutes. Serve with ketchup, ranch, or a squeeze of lemon. My youngest dips everything in ranch and gives a thumbs-up.
