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.

Drain the chicken pieces, then dip each piece in the egg whites. Roll the chicken pieces one by one in the cornflake mixture and pat with crumbs. Arrange the chicken on a baking sheet and drizzle with the sesame oil. Bake the tenders for 6 minutes, flip them and bake an additional 5-6 minutes. While the chicken is in the oven, make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl whisk together the mustard, honey, and chile flakes. Serve the chicken hot from the oven, with the dipping sauce.
