Maple Air Fried Chicken Recipe
Ingredients
Substitution
Note
Ingredients for 4 servings
- 1 ½ lb chicken breast tenders
- Marinade
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons onion powder
- Pinch of sea salt & pepper
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon arrowroot
- 1 ½ cups corn flakes (crushed)
Steps
Step 1
Pat chicken dry with paper towels and trim any large visible pieces of fat. To a bowl, add chicken and the ingredients for the marinade. Cover and marinate for 20 minutes, or place in the fridge to marinate for 1 to 2 hours.
Drain any excess liquid from the bowl with the chicken, then sprinkle arrowroot over the chicken and mix together. Note: it should be very sticky so you may want to use a spatula.
Set air fryer to 400F (or oven to 420F).
Place the corn flakes on a plate or a flat surface, then roll the chicken tender across the flakes, mashing them into the flakes.
Step 2
Place the tenders in the air fryer basket (or on a baking tray lined with parchment if using the oven) and air-fry for 18 – 20 minutes, turning or flipping the tenders halfway.
Step 3
Let the tenders cool slightly and enjoy!
