Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air-Fried Chicken Strips.
Step 1
Remove the membrane from each chicken tenderloin.
Step 2
Soak the chicken tenderloins in buttermilk for 1 to 2 hours to tenderize and flavor the meat.
Step 3
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, all-purpose flour, adobo seasoning, and Mexican seasoning. Mix well to ensure an even distribution of spices.
Step 5
After soaking, drain the buttermilk from the chicken. Press each tenderloin into the panko mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
Step 6
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the coated tenderloins in the basket in a single layer, making sure they are not overcrowded. Lightly spray the tops of the chicken strips with cooking spray.
Step 7
Air fry the chicken strips for 8 minutes. After 8 minutes, flip each tenderloin over and spray again with cooking spray. Air fry for an additional 8 minutes.
Step 8
Finally, shake the basket and spray the tenderloins once more. Air fry for an additional 4 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
