Ingredients
  

For the Chicken Tenders:
  • 8 pieces Small Chicken Tenders boneless and skinless
  • 1 large Egg beaten
  • 1 spray Cooking Oil Spray
  • 1/4 teaspoon Onion Powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
  • 1 teaspoon Ranch Seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon Dried Parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon Cayenne Pepper adjust according to spice preference
  • 1 small bag Potato Chips crushed
  • Salt to taste

Equipment

  • Air Fryer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Plastic Bag or Parchment Paper
  • Cooking Spray Bottle

Method
 

Instructions:
  1. Start by rinsing your small chicken tenders under cold water and patting them dry with a paper towel.
  2. In a mixing bowl, beat the egg, then add the onion powder, paprika, garlic powder, Ranch seasoning, dried parsley, cayenne pepper, and salt. Whisk until combined.
  3. Using a plastic bag or parchment paper, crush the potato chips into small pieces.
  4. Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, roll it in the crushed potato chips.
  5. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
  6. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray. Place the coated chicken tenders in a single layer and spray the tops lightly with oil.
  7. Cook the chicken tenders in the air fryer for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5 minutes to restore crunch.
  • Freeze in a single layer, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag for up to a month.
