Air Fryer Chicken Tenders

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt or sour cream
• 1 (1-ounce) ranch dip seasoning packet, divided
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup crushed potato chips
• 1 to 1 1/4 pounds chicken tenders
• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
• Cooking spray

Method

1. Preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 10 minutes.
2. Make the dip:Combine the yogurt or sour cream and 1 1/2 teaspoons of ranch dip seasoning in a small bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
3. Bread the chicken:Crack the eggs in a shallow bowl and beat. Combine the flour and the remaining contents of the ranch seasoning packet in another shallow bowl. Add the panko and potato chips to a third bowl. Season the tenders with salt and pepper. Working with one at a time, dredge the tenders in the flour mixture. Tap off excess, then dip in the egg mixture to coat. Briefly let any excess drip off, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, turning to coat all sides. Transfer to a plate or baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining tenders.
4. Cook the chicken: Line a baking sheet with a wire rack.Spray both sides of the tenders with cooking spray. Working in 2 to 3 batches, add them to the air-fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip and cook until the internal temperature reaches 165°F, about 5 to 6 more minutes.Transfer to the wire rack and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while cooking any remaining batches. Serve with ranch dip.
