Crispiest, Most Delicious Chicken Tenders
- Replies 0
Make every bite a finger-licking celebration with these crispiest, most delicious chicken tenders that are golden on the outside and juicy on the inside.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
1 (1-ounce) ranch dip seasoning packet, divided
2 large eggs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup crushed potato chips
1 to 1 1/4 pounds chicken tenders
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cooking spray
Method:
1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F for 10 minutes. For the dip, mix the yogurt or sour cream with 1 ½ teaspoons of ranch dip seasoning in a small bowl. Cover it and place it in the fridge until you're ready to serve.
2. To bread the chicken, crack the eggs into a shallow bowl and beat them. In another shallow bowl, combine the flour with the rest of the ranch seasoning packet. In a third bowl, mix together the panko and crushed potato chips. Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Take one tender at a time, coat it in the flour mixture, tapping off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any extra to drip off, and then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring all sides are covered. Place the breaded tenders on a plate or baking sheet and repeat this process for the remaining pieces.
3. For cooking, line a baking sheet with a wire rack. Lightly spray both sides of the tenders with cooking spray. Working in batches of 2 to 3, arrange them in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip them and continue cooking until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, which should take another 5 to 6 minutes. Once cooked, transfer the tenders to the wire rack and cover them loosely with foil to keep warm while you cook any remaining batches. Serve with the ranch dip.
