Coconut-Crusted Chicken Cooked in an Air Fryer

Ingredients 0/11

Step 1

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. While it’s warming up, mix the tapioca starch, jerk seasoning, and garlic in a shallow bowl. In another bowl, whisk together the egg and hot sauce to make the egg wash. Then, combine the corn flakes and coconut flakes in a third bowl for the crunchy coating.

Step 2

Take each chicken tender and first coat it in the dry mix, shaking off any extra. Next, dip it into the egg wash, letting the excess drip off, and then press it into the corn flake and coconut mixture until it’s well coated. Once all the tenders are ready, place them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 6 minutes, flip them over, and cook for another 6 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy. Enjoy!
