Panko-coated chicken tenders turn crisp in the air fryer. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce.

Makes: 8 servings

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup egg whites
• 1½ cups panko breadcrumbs
• 2 lb chicken tenders or boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into strips
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Avocado oil spray or olive oil spray
• BBQ sauce for dipping

Directions

1. Season chicken with salt and pepper.
2. In two separate shallow bowls, add egg whites to one, and panko bread crumbs to the other bowl.
3. Dip chicken in egg whites, then in panko. Shake off excess and place in a separate dish until ready to air fry.
4. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F. Cook the chicken in batches, lightly spraying both sides with oil. Air-fry for about 5–6 minutes per side, until golden and the thickest tender reaches 165°F. Serve with BBQ sauce.
