You don't NEED air fryer!

Becuase you can “air fry” in the oven! Scroll down.

Ingredients:
- 1 lb chicken tenders
- Pickle juice – whatever you have laying around!
- 2 cups oat or whole wheat cups flour, or flour of choices
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tbsp paprika, divided
- 1 cup cornmeal
- 1 tbsp dried parsley
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning (I like Bragg’s Sea Kelp Seasoning)
- Black pepper, to taste
- 2-3 eggs
- High-heat cooking oil

Instructions:
- Marinate chicken for at least 1 hour.
- Remove chicken from marinade and place on a paper towel to absorb any extra liquid. Pat the top of the tenders dry as well.
- Preheat oven to 400. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place a cooling rack on top. (This works the same as an Air Fryer!)
- Put flour in a bowl and mix in salt and 1 tbsp paprika.
- Dredge chicken tenders in seasoned flour and place on the cooling rack/baking sheet.
- Make the breading by using the bowl of leftover flour and mixing in cornmeal, 1 tbsp paprika, parsley, Italian seasoning, and pepper.
- In a separate bowl, crack eggs and whisk together.
- Dip each chicken tender in the egg wash and then the breading. Place on the baking sheet.
- Use a glass spray bottle to spray tenders with high-heat cooking oil.
- Bake until done (about 15-20 minutes.)
