Air Fryer Cornflake Chicken Tenders

Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).

Set up a dredging station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp paprika, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper.

In the second bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs and 2 tbsp milk.

In the third bowl, place 2 cups of finely crushed cornflakes cereal.

Take 1 lb of chicken tenders and coat each one first in the seasoned flour mixture, shaking off any excess.

Dip the flour-coated tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it is completely covered.

Press the tender firmly into the crushed cornflakes so the cereal adheres well to all sides.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the coated chicken tenders in the basket in a single layer, ensuring they do not touch. Lightly mist the tops of the tenders with cooking spray.

Cook in the air fryer for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through and spraying any dry spots with more cooking spray, until the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit and the coating is golden and crispy.
