Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air-Fried Chicken Tenders.
Step 1
To start, grab a shallow bowl and whisk together an egg, a pinch of salt, and a dash of black pepper until everything is nicely blended.
Step 2
In another shallow bowl, combine crumbled cornbread muffins, panko bread crumbs, honey powder, and a sprinkle of tropical poultry rub, mixing them until they’re evenly distributed.
Step 3
Now, take each chicken tender and dip it into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off before rolling it in the cornbread coating.

Cook the tenders for about 6 minutes, then flip them over and let them cook for another 6 minutes, or until they turn a beautiful golden brown and are cooked through.
Step 6
The aroma will fill your kitchen, making it hard to resist! Enjoy your crispy, flavorful chicken tenders that are sure to impress!.
