Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds chicken tenderloins, tendons removed
½ cup tapioca starch
1 ½ teaspoons jerk seasoning
½ teaspoon granulated garlic
1 egg
1 teaspoon hot sauce
1 cup cornflakes, finely crushed
¼ cup unsweetened coconut flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for 5 minutes.

  • Dip each chicken tender into the dry mix, shaking off excess spice. Dip into egg wash, draining excess, and dredge through the crust mixture. Repeat steps for each tender.
