Ingredients

  • 1 lb Chicken breast tenderloins
  • 2 tbsp Cornstarch
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • .5 tsp Cayenne pepper
  • 1 cups Mayonnaise
  • 8 oz Panko bread crumbs
  • 2 Spritzes of oil mist or cooking spray

Instructions

  • For the Chicken Tenders: Arrange chicken tenderloins on a cutting board or tray and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Combine corn starch, salt and cayenne pepper in a small bowl. Use a fine mesh sieve to dust cornstarch mixture evenly over tenderloins. Flip tenderloins and repeat on second side.
  • Pour mayonnaise and panko crumbs into two shallow bowls. Dip each tenderloin in the mayonnaise, using fingers to remove any excess, then dredge in breadcrumbs. Place breaded tenderloins on a platter and spray evenly with olive oil or cooking spray. Flip tenderloins and repeat on second side.
  • Arrange tenderloins in an air fryer according to unit instructions. If available, divide tenders between bottom basket and rack insert. Set unit to bake at 360 degrees F for 10 minutes.
  • After 10 minutes, carefully flip and rearrange chicken tenders for even baking. Bake for an additional 6 minutes.
  • When baked, serve with Sriracha honey mustard.
  • For the Sriracha Honey Mustard: Combine all ingredients in a small bowl and whisk until evenly mixed. Sauce can be stored for up to 1 week tightly covered in the refrigerator.
