Crumbed Chicken Tenderloins (Air Fried)
These air-fried chicken tenderloins outshine chicken nuggets by a mile, and the method is incredibly uncomplicated. While I typically opt for chicken tenderloins, you can easily utilize sliced chicken breasts if they're more convenient.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup dry bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 chicken tenderloins
Instructions
- Gather all ingredients.
- Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Whisk egg in a small bowl.
- Mix breadcrumbs and oil together in a second bowl until mixture becomes loose and crumbly.
- Dip each chicken tenderloin into the bowl of egg; shake off any residual egg. Dip chicken into crumb mixture, making sure it is evenly and fully covered.
- Lay chicken tenderloins in the air fryer basket in an even layer.
- Air-fry until no longer pink in the center, about 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
- Serve hot and enjoy!
