Tips:

  • To ensure a crispy coating, make sure the chicken is dry before applying the cornflake mixture.
  • Use a food processor to quickly and easily crush the cornflakes into fine crumbs.
  • If you want a thicker coating, double-dip the chicken in the egg wash and cornflake mixture.
  • For a more flavorful coating, add some dried herbs or spices to the cornflake mixture.
  • Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Leave some space between the chicken fingers so that they can cook evenly.
  • Cook the chicken fingers until they are crispy and golden brown. This usually takes about 10-12 minutes.
  • Serve the chicken fingers with your favorite dipping sauce.

Air fryer cornflake chicken fingers are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for a quick and healthy weeknight dinner or a fun party appetizer.
