Ingredients: Crunchy Air Fryer Cornflake Chicken
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts sliced in half lengthwise.
- 2 cups Cornflakes crushed into fine crumbs
- 1 Tablespoon oil
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- 2 Tablespoons mustard Yellow or Dijon
- ⅓ cup grated Parmesan cheese optional
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon seasoning of choice. I used Vegeta all-purpose seasoning.
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Slice two large chicken breasts in half lengthwise so you get four even breasts. Aim for approx. ½ inch in thickness. This recipe will also work with chicken tenders, chicken thighs, and chicken drumsticks. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 390°F (195°C) and let it preheat for a few minutes.
- Lightly brush the chicken with oil and season with salt pepper to taste.Prepare the Coating Mixture: In a bowl, mix mayonnaise, mustard, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic seasoning, and your seasoning of choice.
- Crush the Cornflakes: I used Hamilton beach mini food processor. In a separate bowl, combine the crushed cornflakes with salt and pepper to taste.
- Coat the Chicken:Evenly coat each piece with the mayonnaise-mustard mixture.Press into the crushed cornflakes, ensuring a thick, even coating.
- Air Fry:Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.Place the chicken in a single layer, ensuring they don’t overlap. Spritz each chicken piece lightly with spray oil.Cook for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is crispy.
- Serve & Enjoy: Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes before serving. Enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside veggies for a complete meal!
