Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

Preheat your air fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). (2 minutes)

02

Step
3 mins

In a bowl, season the chicken tenders with poultry seasoning, sea salt, and black pepper, ensuring they are evenly coated. (3 minutes)

03

Step
2 mins

Set up two shallow dishes: one with the beaten egg and the other with the crushed cornflakes. (2 minutes)

04

Step
5 mins

Dip each chicken tender into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off, then press it firmly into the crushed cornflakes to ensure a thorough coating. (5 minutes)

05

Step
2 mins

Arrange the coated chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Spray the tops lightly with avocado oil. (2 minutes)

06

Step
1 mins

Air fry for 7-8 minutes, then carefully flip each chicken tender. Spray again with avocado oil. (1 minute)

07

Step
5 mins

Continue to air fry for an additional 3-5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cornflake coating is golden brown and crispy. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (5 minutes)

08

Step
2 mins

Remove from the air fryer and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy! (2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder or paprika to the cornflake mixture.
If you don't have avocado oil spray, you can lightly brush the chicken fingers with olive oil.
Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket for optimal crisping.
These chicken fingers are best served immediately for maximum crunchiness.
Experiment with different dipping sauces such as honey mustard, BBQ sauce, or a spicy mayo.
