Jump to Recipe Print Recipe
Meat (Fleishig)

Air fryer chicken tenders are golden and crunchy with very little oil. Chicken strips are coated in seasoned flour, egg and a mix of panko and breadcrumbs, sprayed with olive oil and air-fried until crisp.

Getting Them Crisp

Cut the chicken into even strips so they cook at the same rate. Press the crumbs on firmly, spray all sides lightly with oil, and arrange in a single layer without crowding. Flip halfway through. Marinating the strips in lemon juice for 30 minutes before coating adds flavor.

Kosher Notes

This is a meat (fleishig) recipe. Serve with ketchup, honey mustard or a pareve dip.

Leftovers

Leftovers keep for 3 days and re-crisp in the air fryer at 350°F in 3 to 4 minutes.

Method
 

  1. Pat the chicken strips completely dry with paper towels. Cut any larger pieces so all strips are roughly the same thickness, about 1 inch.
  2. Set up three shallow dishes: flour in the first, beaten eggs in the second, and combined panko, regular breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the third.
  3. Working with one piece at a time, dredge each chicken strip in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in beaten eggs, letting excess drip off. Finally, coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help it stick.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 3 minutes.
  5. Arrange the coated chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't touch. You may need to cook in batches.
  6. Spray the tops of the chicken tenders lightly with olive oil spray.
  7. Air fry for 6 minutes, then flip each tender and spray the other side lightly with oil.
  8. Continue cooking for 4-6 more minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
  9. Let rest for 2-3 minutes before serving. Repeat with remaining chicken if cooking in batches.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken strips in lemon juice for 30 minutes before coating. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the air fryer at 350°F for 3-4 minutes until heated through and crispy again.
