Ingredients Needed

Scale 1x 2x 3x

Yield 4 Serving

Place the chicken tenders, buttermilk, 1½ teaspoons paprika, 1½ teaspoons salt, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and 1 teaspoon black pepper in a large bowl and stir together. Cover and marinate for 4 hours in the refrigerator.
Place the crisper plate into the COSORI Air Fryer basket.
Select the Preheat function, then press Start/Pause.
Set up a breading station with the flour, remaining teaspoon of paprika, dried parsley, and cayenne pepper in one bowl, the beaten eggs in another bowl, and the breadcrumbs, remaining teaspoon of salt, and remaining ½ teaspoon black pepper in a final bowl.
Lift each chicken tender out of the marinade and dredge in the flour first, followed by the eggs, and finally the breadcrumbs, shaking off any excess. Repeat as needed until all of the tenders are coated.
Place a single layer of the chicken tenders onto the preheated crisper plate and spray them on both sides with oil spray.
Select the Air Fry function, adjust temperature to 400°F and time to 12 minutes, then press Start/Pause.
Flip chicken tenders over halfway through cooking.
Remove the chicken tenders when done, then serve.
