Ingredients
15Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast TenderloinsThawed
3/4CupMilk
1/4CupDill Pickle Juice
1EggBeaten
1CupGluten-Free All-Purpose Flour or Regular Flour
1TspSalt
1TspPaprika
1/4TspBlack Pepper
Grapeseed Oil Spray
Instructions
In a Ziploc bag, combine the milk, pickle juice, and egg. Depending on the amount of chicken, 2 bags may be needed. Each bag fits about 8-10.
Place the chicken inside the bag and seal it up, lay it flat so all the chicken is covered. It's best to place inside another pan in case of leaks.
Let this sit in the fridge overnight or at least 4 hours.
Once you are ready to cook the chicken, combine the flour, salt, paprika, and ground pepper in another bag.
Take the chicken out of the marinade, letting the excess marinade drip off it and then place it inside the bag with the flour mixture.
Seal and shake the bag so all the chicken is well coated in the mixture.
Spray the air fryer basket with oil spray. Carefully remove the chicken from the bag, shaking off the excess, and place the chicken in the basket of the air fryer.
Coat the chicken with grapeseed oil spray.
Cook at 390°F for 6 minutes.
Carefully turn the chicken, coat it with additional spray, and cook for an additional 6 minutes until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of at least 165°F.
Repeat the process for the remaining chicken.
To get the golden brown look, spray with grapeseed oil spray just before serving.
Notes
Cook times do vary depending on the air fryer because sometimes they put off a different amount of heat. The internal temperature must be at least 165°F to be well done.
