Ingredients
- 1. A single egg
- 2. A dash of salt, just half a teaspoon
- 3. A hint of spiced black pepper, a mere one-eighth of a teaspoon
- 4. Two cornbread muffins, gently crumbled
- 5. A quarter cup of crispy panko bread crumbs
- 6. Two teaspoons of honey powder, like the one from Savory Spice®
- 7. A generous tablespoon of tropical poultry rub, such as the Gold Coast Poultry Rub from Savory Spice®
- 8. A full pound of succulent chicken tenders
Step 1
Prepare a delightful coating by whisking together eggs, a pinch of salt, and a sprinkle of pepper in a wide bowl until they form a smooth blend. In another bowl, combine cornbread crumbs, panko breadcrumbs, a touch of honey powder, and a dash of poultry rub for extra flavor.
Step 2
Take each chicken tender and give it a luxurious egg bath, making sure to remove any excess before generously coating it in the cornbread mixture. This will ensure a crispy and flavorful finish.
Step 3
Fire up your trusty air fryer and set it to a toasty 380 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lay the coated chicken tenders in the fryer basket and let them cook for a tantalizing 6 minutes. Once the timer goes off, flip the tenders over for another 6 minutes of cooking perfection. Enjoy your golden-brown, crispy chicken tenders straight from the air fryer!
Extra Tips & Suggestions
- 1. Seal the Crispy Goodness: After air-frying your delectable chicken tenders to golden perfection, make sure to store them in an airtight container. This will help preserve their crispiness and keep them fresh for longer.
- 2. Keep it Cool: To maintain that satisfying crunch, store your chicken tenders in the refrigerator. The cool temperature will help prevent them from becoming soggy or losing their texture.
