Air Fryer Cornflake-Crusted Chicken Tenders

This crusting takes chicken from drab to fab! With less than 8 ingredients it's also fast to prepare! I use seasonings from the Savory Spice Shop®, however you can use Italian seasoning in place of the cantanzaro herbs.

Ingredients

• 1 egg
• 1 pinch salt
• ½ teaspoon granulated garlic
• 1 pound chicken tenders
• 1 tablespoon pesto
• 1 cup crushed cornflakes
• 1 ounce finely shredded Parmesan cheese
• ½ teaspoon cantanzaro herbs (such as Savory Spice Shop®)

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).

Step 2

Mix together egg, pesto, and salt in a shallow dish. In a separate dish mix together cornflake crumbs, Parmesan cheese, cantanzaro herbs, garlic, and salt.

Step 3

Dip each piece of chicken piece first in egg wash, then dredge through the cornflake mixture, shaking off excess breading. Place chicken pieces in the air fryer basket.

Step 4

Air fry for 5 minutes, rearrange chicken pieces, and fry until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 minutes more.
