Spicy marinated air fryer chicken tenders that are irresistibly delicious and easily made gluten-free with simple swaps.
Ingredients:
  • 2 Cup all-purpose flour, divided
  • 1/2 cup Regular Bread Crumbs
  • 4  teaspoon Paprika
  • 1 tablespoon White Pepper
  • 2  teaspoon Garlic Salt
  • 2  teaspoon Confectioners Sugar
  • 1  teaspoon Thyme
  • 1  teaspoon Basil
  • 1  teaspoon Oregano
  • 1  teaspoon Celery Salt
  • 1  teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1  teaspoon Dried Mustard
  • 1  teaspoon Ground Ginger
  • 1/2  teaspoon Chili Powder
  • 1/2  teaspoon Sea Salt
  • Coconut Spray Oil
Instructions:
  • Cut the chicken breasts into long, 1-inch strips and arrange them neatly in a shallow pan.
  • Combine pickle juice, milk, and liquid smoke in a cup, then pour the mixture over the chicken. Refrigerate and let marinate for 30 minutes.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine eggs and ranch dressing, and in another shallow bowl, place 1 cup of flour.
  • In a separate shallow bowl, combine the remaining 1 cup of flour with breadcrumbs, paprika, white pepper, garlic salt, confectioners’ sugar, thyme, basil, oregano, celery salt, black pepper, dry mustard, ginger, chili powder, and salt. Whisk all ingredients together thoroughly.
  • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C. Pat dry the chicken strips with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
  • Coat chicken strips in flour, then dip in egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off. One by one, coat strips in breadcrumb mixture until fully covered.
  • Arrange the strips in a single layer in the air fryer basket, making sure they don't touch. You may need to cook in batches. Generously coat with coconut oil spray.
  • Air fry the chicken for 6 minutes until golden brown, then flip and spritz with luscious coconut oil. Continue air frying for another 6 minutes until perfectly juicy and no longer pink inside. Make sure the temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Repeat with the rest of the chicken pieces.
