Easy Air Fryer Chicken Tenders (Gluten-Free)
Make the best Easy Air Fryer Chicken Tenders that can be made gluten-free too!
Ingredients
- 15-20 Boneless Skinless Chicken Breast Tenderloins Thawed
- 3/4 Cup Milk
- 1/4 Cup Dill Pickle Juice
- 1 Egg Beaten
- 1 Cup All-Purpose Flour or Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour
- 1 Tsp Salt
- 1 Tsp Paprika
- 1/4 Tsp Black 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.
- Carefully remove the chicken from the bag, shaking off the excess and place in the basket of the air fryer.
- Coat 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.
