Air Fried Chicken Tenders

Cultural Context

Air fried chicken tenders are a modern American favorite, offering a healthier twist on classic fried chicken. Originating from the need for quick, convenient meals, these tenders are perfect for busy weeknights or casual gatherings. The air fryer allows for a crispy texture without the excess oil, making it a popular choice for families looking to enjoy comfort food in a lighter way. Today, variations abound, with different seasonings and dipping sauces to suit every taste.

1

Hand slice the chicken breasts into strips, aiming for about 4 strips per breast, totaling 16 strips.

2

In a bowl, mix together the 4 large eggs and 2 cups of buttermilk to create the egg wash.

3

In another bowl, combine 2 cups of all-purpose flour, 2 cups of yellow cornmeal, 1 ounce of applewood smoked sea salt, 1 tablespoon of freshly cracked black pepper, and 1 ounce of Old Bay seasoning, mixing well.

4

Using a wet hand, dip each chicken strip into the buttermilk and egg wash, then use a dry hand to coat it with the breading mixture.

5

Place the breaded chicken strips onto a crisper tray, ensuring they are well spaced.

6

Spray cooking spray over all sides of the breaded chicken strips.

7

Insert the crisper tray into the Power Air Fryer Oven Elite, placing the bottom rack in last.

8

Select the french fry button, set the temperature to 400 degrees Fahrenheit, and cook for 20 minutes.

9

After 20 minutes, check the internal temperature of the chicken strips with a meat probe, ensuring it reaches at least 165 degrees Fahrenheit.

10

If the temperature is below 165 degrees, return the chicken to the air fryer, adjusting the cooking time as needed (5 minutes for the middle rack, 7 minutes for the bottom rack).

11

Remove the chicken strips from the air fryer once they reach the safe eating temperature, and plate them for serving.
