These air fryer chicken tenderloins beat chicken nuggets any day and the recipe is so simple. I tend to use chicken tenderloins but you can use sliced chicken breasts if easier.
Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cups dry bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 8 chickens tenderloins
Instructions
-
1
Gather all ingredients.
-
2
Preheat an air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
-
3
Whisk egg in a small bowl.
-
4
Mix bread crumbs and oil together in a second bowl until mixture becomes loose and crumbly.
-
5
Dip each chicken tenderloin into the bowl of egg; shake off any residual egg. Dip chicken into crumb mixture, making sure it is evenly and fully covered.
-
6
Lay chicken tenderloins in the air fryer basket in an even layer.
-
7
Air-fry until no longer pink in the center, about 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

Serve hot and enjoy!

Mom's Legendary Stuffed Hamburgers
This recipe for Mom's legendary stuffed hamburgers yields enormous, stick-to-your-ribs burgers with a surprise in the center—a real family favorite. I like to serve them on a bun topped with sautéed mushrooms and Swiss cheese. Use extra lean or lean ground beef instead of medium because the bacon adds to the fat content of the meat.
Sweet Pork for Burritos
This is a sweet and tangy pork recipe. It goes great in burritos and tacos, but it also tastes great by itself!
