For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the flour mixture. Ensure the chicken tenders are not overcrowded in the air fryer basket to promote even cooking and maximum crispiness. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch, honey mustard, or BBQ sauce.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) following the manufacturer's instructions. (5 minutes)
02
StepIn a large bowl, whisk together the flour, paprika, parsley flakes, seasoned salt, and pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the egg until smooth. (5 minutes)
03
StepDredge each chicken tender in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Dip the floured tender into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Return the tender to the seasoned flour and coat thoroughly. (15 minutes)
04
StepLightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the coated chicken tenders in the basket in a single layer, ensuring not to overcrowd. Lightly mist the tops of the tenders with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
05
StepCook in the preheated air fryer for 8 minutes. Flip the chicken tenders over and lightly mist the tops with more cooking spray. Continue cooking until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a tender reads 165 degrees F (74 degrees C), approximately 7 to 8 minutes more. (16 minutes)
06
StepRepeat the process with any remaining chicken tenders, ensuring each batch is cooked to golden perfection.
