  • Total Time: 27 mins

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1 cup crushed pretzels
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

To prepare the chicken tenders, start by preheating your air fryer to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. In a shallow dish, beat the eggs and season them with salt and pepper. In another shallow dish, mix the crushed pretzels and flour. Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, then coat it with the pretzel and flour mixture, making sure it is evenly coated on all sides.

Next, lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the coated chicken tenders into the basket, being careful not to overcrowd it. Cook the chicken tenders for about 10-12 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Serve the chicken tenders immediately, with your choice of dipping sauce.

This recipe is a delicious and crispy alternative to traditional fried chicken tenders. The pretzel coating gives the chicken a unique and satisfying crunch, while the air fryer makes the cooking process healthier and easier. Enjoy!Try
