Ingredients

1 lb. (450 g) chicken tenders (about 7–9 pieces)
1 tbsp (15 mL) vegetable oil
½ tsp (2 mL) salt
½ tsp (2 mL) garlic powder
¼ tsp (1 mL) black pepper
½ cup (125 mL) all-purpose flour
2 eggs
1 tbsp (15 mL) milk
3 cups (750 mL) cornflake cereal, crushed
Oil for spritzing

Directions

Pat the tenders dry with paper towels. Add the tenders, oil, salt, garlic powder, and pepper to a small bowl; toss to combine.
Set the Deluxe Air Fryer & Oven to Air Fry for 12 minutes.
Add the flour to a shallow bowl. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a second shallow bowl. Add the crushed cornflakes to a third shallow bowl.
Dip each tender into the flour, then the egg mixture, and then the cornflake mixture, pressing to adhere.
Place the tenders on a greased Air Fryer Rack. When the display says, “ADD FOOD,” add the rack to the oven. Press start.
Rotate the rack halfway through cooking. Cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), adding more time, if needed.
