Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air-Fried Chicken Tenderloins.
Step 1
Start by gathering your ingredients: you'll need some fresh chicken tenderloins, an egg, dry bread crumbs, and a splash of vegetable oil.
Step 2
Preheat your air fryer to a cozy 350°F (175°C) so it’s ready to work its magic.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk the egg until it’s nice and frothy, creating a perfect dip for your chicken.
Step 4
In another bowl, mix the dry bread crumbs with the vegetable oil, stirring until the mixture is light and crumbly—this will give your chicken that delightful crunch.
Step 5
Now, take each chicken tenderloin and dip it into the egg, letting any excess drip off.
Step 6
Next, roll it in the breadcrumb mixture, making sure every inch is coated for that irresistible texture.
Step 7
Arrange the coated tenderloins in a single layer in your air fryer basket, giving them a little space to breathe.
Step 8
Cook them for about 12 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and are beautifully golden without a hint of pink inside.
Step 9
Once they’re done, serve your crispy chicken tenderloins hot and enjoy every delicious bite!.
