Spicy air fried chicken tenders

Ingredients

• 500g chicken breast

• Marinated in hot sauce for 1 hour minimum (or overnight).

• Hot sauce ideas- Franks hot sauce, Nandos hot peri peri or Sriracha sauce. For pictures below I use 2 tablespoons of Nandos hot peri peri and 1 tablespoon Sriracha. Any hot sauce will work!

Breadcrumbs mix

• 1/2 cup bread crumbs (traditional ideally not panko)

• 1 heaped teaspoon chilli powder

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1/2 garlic powder

• 1/2 teaspoon sweet smoked paprika

• 1/4 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 pepper

Side sauce ideas:

• Ranch

• Sour cream

• Ketchup

• BBQ

Steps

• Marinade chicken for minimum 1 hour or overnight in either a bowl or snap lock bag.

• Mix all dried ingredients together well for bread crumb mix.

• Remove chicken breast from marinade and cut into 1 inch thick long strips.

• One by one, place each chicken breast into bread crumbs mix and lightly coat. Place aside on plate.

• Preheat air frier for a few minutes at 190 degrees before using.

• Lightly spray the base with olive oil before adding chicken.

• Arrange chicken ensuring as much as possible that chicken does not touch each other. Lightly spray top of tenders with olive oil spray. 

• Air fry on 190 degrees for 15 minutes. Timing can depend on type/size of air frier, tenders should be golden and crispy. If unsure cut one in half to check thoroughly cooked through.

• Serve and enjoy.
