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.

Time 20m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

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.
