Ingredients

• 1 pound chicken tenders (boneless, skinless)
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 2 large eggs (beaten)

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
2. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.
3. In another bowl, beat the eggs.
4. Dip each chicken tender first into the flour mixture, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
5. Place the coated chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket without overlapping.
6. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F/74°C).
7. Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 2 minutes before serving.
