What Makes This Recipe So Great
Tips For Better Flavor
- Preheat the air fryer for a few minutes to ensure even cooking.
- Flip the tenders halfway through cooking for a uniform crispiness.
Step 1
Warm your air fryer to 370°F (190°C). Crush the pork rinds in a food processor until they’re about the size of breadcrumbs, then transfer them to a shallow bowl. In another dish, mix together the flour and barbecue seasoning. In a third bowl, beat the egg until smooth.
Step 2
Take each chicken tender and first dip it into the seasoned flour, then coat it in the beaten egg, and finally press it into the pork rind crumbs so it’s fully covered. Give the air fryer basket a quick spray with nonstick cooking spray, then arrange half of the tenders inside, making sure they’re not touching. Spray the tops lightly with cooking spray as well.
Step 3
Cook the chicken for about 15 minutes, or until it’s cooked through and no longer pink in the center. Once done, repeat the process with the remaining tenders. Enjoy your crispy, flavorful chicken straight from the air fryer!
