Air Fryer Cheez-It Chicken Tenders
Crispy cheesy chicken tenders with a juicy interior and the perfect outer coating.
Ingredients
- 3 eggs
- Salt and Pepper
- 1 1/2 cups Duo Cheez-Its or Cheese Crackers of Choice
- 4 Chicken Tenders
Instructions
- Season chicken with salt and pepper, and set aside.
- In a medium bowl whip 3 eggs and season with salt and pepper.
- In a ziptop bag, add cheesy crackers, and use a rolling pin to smash into a fine consistency (or use a food processor). Pour into another medium bowl.
- Dredge chicken in the egg mixture, then dredge in the crushed up Cheez-Its!
- Spray your air fryer with non-stick spray, and place chicken tenders in the bottom.
- Cook at 400 degrees for 5 minutes, flip the chicken over, take the temp, and cook for up to another 5 minutes on the other side, until an instant read thermometer reads 165 degrees F.
- Serve with your favorite dip.
Notes
Chicken tenders may be thicker or thinner than what I used, so while mine took roughly 9-10 minutes to cook through, check yours at about 6-7 minutes so as not to overcook.
