Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat an air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) according to manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2

Dredge each chicken tender in seasoned flour. Dip in beaten egg, then back in seasoned flour.

Step 3

Coat basket with cooking spray; place as many coated chicken tenders in the air fryer basket as you can without overcrowding. Lightly mist the tops of the tenders with cooking spray.

Step 4

Meanwhile, combine flour, paprika, parsley, seasoned salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Beat egg in a separate bowl.

Step 5

Cook in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes. Flip chicken over and lightly mist the tops with more cooking spray. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of chicken reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), about 7 to 8 minutes more. Repeat with any remaining chicken tenders.
