Crispy Parmesan Buttermilk Chicken Tenders Baked And Air Fryer Food

CRISPY PARMESAN BUTTERMILK CHICKEN TENDERS (BAKED AND AIR FRYER)

Steps:

• Use a chef's knife to trim the fat from the chicken breasts and cut into tenders, about 5 per breast. Tap the thicker parts of the tenders with the flat part of the knife to even the thickness, about 1/2 inch at most.
• In a bowl or jar with a fitted lid, combine the buttermilk with half of the Worcestershire sauce, and half of the salt and pepper and paprika. Add to a gallon freezer bag with the chicken and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to overnight.
• Melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, watching closely as the butter melts and begins to foam and changes to a golden color with a nutty aroma. Remove the browned butter from the heat and let cook slightly.
• Combine the panko and the butter on a plate, tossing until well combined, then add the Parmesan cheese and toss. In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the remaining Worcestershire sauce. On another plate, toss the flour with the remaining salt, pepper and smoked paprika.
• Drain the chicken and discard the buttermilk. Using tongs, work with one tender at a time and dredge the chicken through the flour to coat, then the egg, and then the panko.

Top chicken with sauce and cheese. Cook until cheese is melted, 3-4 minutes. If desired, sprinkle with basil.

AIR FRYER BUTTERMILK FRIED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat an air fryer to 380 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Mix flour, seasoned salt, and pepper in a large gallon-sized resealable bag. Dredge chicken thighs in seasoned flour. Dip back into the buttermilk, then coat with panko bread crumbs.
• Spray the basket of the air fryer with nonstick cooking spray. Arrange 1/2 of the chicken thighs in the basket, making sure none are touching. Spray the top of each chicken thigh with cooking spray.
• Cook in the preheated air fryer for 15 minutes. Flip. Spray tops of chicken again. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Repeat with remaining chicken.

CRISPY PARMESAN CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• Combine flour with garlic powder & pepper in a bowl.
• Crack eggs and beat till throughly combined in a seperate bowl.
• Combine parmesan cheese and crushed crackers in a third bowl.
• Start by coating the chicken pieces in flour, then dip in egg wash and then dip into cracker mix.
• Set coated chicken onto a plate. When finished coating all the chicken, put the plate in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to let the coating "set-up".
• In a large fry pan, heat 1/2" of oil to medium high heat (I don't use a thermometer but I'm guessing 350 degrees).
• Pan fry in small batches till golden brown on all sides - depending on size of your tenders, 5-6 minutes per side.
• Remove to a paper towel lined plate till all the chicken is done.
• We served it with pasta and spaghetti sauce but i'm guessing it would go with about anything.
