Ingredients

For Chicken
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
2 large eggs
4 cups cornflakes, finely crushed (about 1 cup crushed)
2 teaspoons dried parsley
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried dill
11/2 pounds boneless skinless chicken tenders (about 20 tenders)
For Dipping
1/2 cup store-bought ranch dressing

Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 400°F. Cover a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set a heatproof wire baking rack on top; spray rack lightly with cooking spray.
2. In a small bowl or shallow dish, season flour with 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper; whisk eggs in another shallow dish. In a third shallow dish, mix cornflakes with parsley, garlic, dill, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of pepper.
3. Dredge chicken in flour to coat, shaking off excess. Dip into egg and then into cornflake mixture, making sure entire surface is coated. Arrange on prepared baking rack.
4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, flipping once during cooking. Serve with Buttermilk Ranch Sauce for dipping.

AIR FRYER CORNFLAKE-CRUSTED CHICKEN TENDERS

Air Fryer Cornflake-Crusted Chicken Tenders image

This crusting takes chicken from drab to fab! With less than 8 ingredients it's also fast to prepare! I use seasonings from the Savory Spice Shop®, however you can use Italian seasoning in place of the cantanzaro herbs.

Ingredients

1 egg
1 tablespoon pesto
1 pinch salt
1 cup crushed cornflakes
1 ounce finely shredded Parmesan cheese
½ teaspoon cantanzaro herbs (such as Savory Spice Shop®)
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
1 pinch salt
1 pound chicken tenders

Steps:

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
Mix together egg, pesto, and salt in a shallow dish. In a separate dish mix together cornflake crumbs, Parmesan cheese, cantanzaro herbs, garlic, and salt.
Dip each piece of chicken piece first in egg wash, then dredge through the cornflake mixture, shaking off excess breading. Place chicken pieces in the air fryer basket.
Air fry for 5 minutes, rearrange chicken pieces, and fry until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes more.
