These are the crispiest Air Fryer Chicken Tenders thanks to a simple coating of buttermilk and crushed cornflakes. This family favorite is the healthier fried chicken recipe you’ve been looking for.

 INGREDIENTS

Chicken Tenders – 1 ½ lbs chicken breast sliced into tenders – 2 cups buttermilk regular or low fat – Pinch of salt – Pinch of pepper – Pinch of red pepper cayenne pepper

 INGREDIENTS

Coating – 3 cups cornflakes crushed – 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour – ½ teaspoon garlic salt – ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper – Spray oil

 INGREDIENTS

Honey Mustard Dipping Sauce – ¼ cup mayonnaise not Miracle Whip – ¼ cup honey – 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard – 2 tablespoons coarse grain mustard – ½ tablespoon white wine vinegar – ½ teaspoon garlic powder – ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Place raw chicken tenders into a dish, sprinkle with salt, pepper and red pepper. Pour the buttermilk over the chicken & marinate.

Crush your cornflakes and pour into a shallow dish, similar to a pie plate. Add flour, garlic salt and pepper, stir to combine. Place your air-fryer tray on the counter.

Starting with one chicken tender at a time wipe the sides on the edge of the bowl to remove excess buttermilk.

Roll the chicken tender into the cornflake mixture. Once coated, shake gently to remove any loose coating. Set onto air-fryer tray. Continue with each chicken tender.

Spray the surface of your coated tenders with spray oil. (This step is a must or the coating will be dry. The oil makes sure the coating crisp up.)

Bake at 400ºF for 12 – 20 minutes, depending on how thick your chicken tenders are, or until chicken is cooked to 165 º F and coating is golden brown. Flip chicken tenders over after 6 minutes.
