Air-Fryer Fiesta Chicken Fingers image

Chicken fingers have long been a favorite of mine. Actually, almost any finger-shaped deep-fried goodie seldom escapes my reach. These air-fryer chicken fingers have taken a lot of the guilt out of my guilty pleasure. -Dianne DeGarmo-Carr, Alexander, Arkansas

Yield 4 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 7

3/4 pound boneless skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup buttermilk
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups corn chips, crushed
1 envelope taco seasoning
Sour cream ranch dip or salsa

Steps:

  • Preheat air fryer to 400°. Pound chicken breasts with a meat mallet to 1/2-in. thickness. Cut into 1-in. wide strips., In a shallow bowl, whisk buttermilk and pepper. Place flour in a separate shallow bowl. Mix corn chips and taco seasoning in a third bowl. Dip chicken in flour to coat both sides; shake off excess. Dip in buttermilk mixture, then in corn chip mixture, patting to help coating adhere., In batches, arrange chicken in a single layer on greased tray in air-fryer basket; spritz with cooking spray. Cook until coating is golden brown and chicken is no longer pink, 7-8 minutes on each side. Repeat with remaining chicken. Serve with ranch dip or salsa.
