With a bag of kettle-cooked potato chips and your trusty air fryer at your side, you\u2019re just half an hour away from super crispy, deeply seasoned \u201cfried\u201d chicken strips!\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_3-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> This recipe packs in flavor and texture in three key ways: First, the chicken tenders themselves are seasoned generously with kosher salt. Then they\u2019re dredged in flour that\u2019s spiked with seasoned salt (like Lawry\u2019s) for another layer of depth. After a dip in some beaten egg, the exteriors are then coated with crushed potato chips, which mimic the crunchy coating from deep-fried chicken with none of the mess.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_5-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> After just ten minutes in the air fryer, these chicken tenders emerge golden and shatteringly crisp on the outside and juicy and tender on the inside. Devour them as-is with ketchup or a fancy honey mustard, or use them to top a green salad or stuff into a wrap.\u00a0\n<\/p>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_7-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme figure-landscape figure-high-res\"><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_1-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"> <span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Simply Recipes \/ Shilpa Iyer<\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-amp-up-the-flavor\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> Amp Up the Flavor <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_9-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Want to build in even more flavor to your chicken? Play with different flavors of potato chips! Barbecue, salt and vinegar, pickle, or jalape\u00f1o-flavored chips would all work well in addition to plain. Just make sure you use kettle-cooked chips, which will offer a crispier exterior, better crunch, and a less greasy finish compared to traditionally-cooked potato chips, such as Lay\u2019s.\n<\/p>\n<p><span class=\"heading-toc\" id=\"toc-oven-method\"\/><\/p>\n<h2 id=\"mntl-sc-block_11-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-heading mntl-sc-block-heading\"> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-heading__text\"> Oven Method <\/span> <\/h2>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_12-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> If you don\u2019t have an air fryer, you can make these tenders in the oven instead. Arrange the coated chicken on a wire rack set in a rimmed baking sheet. Spray the tops evenly with cooking spray. Bake at 400\u00b0F for about 15 minutes, flipping and spraying the other side of chicken with cooking spray halfway through baking.\n<\/p>\n<figure id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block lifestyle-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image mntl-sc-block-image--no-theme no-theme figure-landscape figure-high-res\"><figcaption id=\"mntl-figure-caption_2-0\" class=\"comp mntl-figure-caption text-utility-100 figure-article-caption\"> <span class=\"figure-article-caption-owner\"><\/p>\n<p>Simply Recipes \/ Shilpa Iyer<\/p>\n<p><\/span><br \/>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"structured-project-content_1-0\">\n<p> <button class=\"mm-recipes-cook-mode__button\" aria-pressed=\"false\" aria-label=\"Toggle Cook Mode\"><br \/>\n<span class=\"mm-recipes-cook-mode__slider\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button><br \/>\n<span class=\"mm-recipes-cook-mode__label\"><br \/>\nCook Mode<br \/>\n<span class=\"mm-recipes-cook-mode__optional-note\">(Keep screen awake)<\/span><br \/>\n<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<section id=\"section--ingredients_1-0\" class=\"comp section--ingredients section\">\n<div class=\"loc section-content section__content \">\n<div id=\"structured-ingredients_1-0\" class=\"comp structured-ingredients\">\n<ul class=\"structured-ingredients__list text-passage\">\n<li class=\"structured-ingredients__list-item\">\n<p><span data-ingredient-quantity=\"true\">1<\/span> <span data-ingredient-unit=\"true\">cup<\/span> <span data-ingredient-name=\"true\">all-purpose flour<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"structured-ingredients__list-item\">\n<p><span data-ingredient-quantity=\"true\">2<\/span> <span data-ingredient-unit=\"true\">tablespoons<\/span> <span data-ingredient-name=\"true\">seasoned salt<\/span>\u00a0(such as Lawry\u2019s)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"structured-ingredients__list-item\">\n<p><span data-ingredient-quantity=\"true\">1<\/span> <span data-ingredient-unit=\"true\">teaspoon<\/span> freshly\u00a0<span data-ingredient-name=\"true\">ground black pepper<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"structured-ingredients__list-item\">\n<p><span data-ingredient-quantity=\"true\">3<\/span> <span data-ingredient-unit=\"true\">large<\/span> <span data-ingredient-name=\"true\">eggs<\/span>, lightly beaten<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"structured-ingredients__list-item\">\n<p><span data-ingredient-quantity=\"true\">1<\/span> <span data-ingredient-unit=\"true\">(13-ounce) bag<\/span> <span data-ingredient-name=\"true\">kettle-cooked potato chips<\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"structured-ingredients__list-item\">\n<p><span data-ingredient-quantity=\"true\">2<\/span> <span data-ingredient-unit=\"true\">pounds<\/span> <span data-ingredient-name=\"true\">boneless, skinless chicken tenders<\/span> (about <span data-ingredient-quantity=\"true\">12<\/span>)<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"structured-ingredients__list-item\">\n<p><span data-ingredient-quantity=\"true\">1<\/span> <span data-ingredient-unit=\"true\">teaspoon<\/span> <span data-ingredient-name=\"true\">kosher salt<\/span>, plus more to taste<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"structured-ingredients__list-item\">\n<p><span data-ingredient-unit=\"true\"><span data-ingredient-quantity=\"true\"><span data-ingredient-name=\"true\">Nonstick cooking spray<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"section--instructions_1-0\" class=\"comp section--instructions section\">\n<div class=\"loc section-content section__content \">\n<div id=\"structured-project__steps_1-0\" class=\"comp structured-project__steps mntl-sc-page mntl-block text-passage structured-content\" data-sc-sticky-offset=\"60\" data-sc-ad-label-height=\"24\" data-sc-ad-track-spacing=\"100\" data-sc-min-track-height=\"250\" data-sc-max-track-height=\"600\" data-sc-breakpoint=\"50em\" data-sc-load-immediate=\"1\" data-sc-content-positions=\"[300,600,900,1200,1500,1800,2100]\" data-bind-scroll-on-start=\"true\">\n<ol id=\"mntl-sc-block_15-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-startgroup mntl-sc-block-group--OL\">\n<li id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-startgroup mntl-sc-block-group--LI\">\n<p> <span class=\"mntl-sc-block-subheading__text\"> Set up a dredging station: <\/span> <\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_18-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> In a shallow dish, stir together the flour, seasoned salt, and pepper. In a second shallow dish, add the beaten eggs.

Working with one chicken tender at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, then dip it in the beaten egg to coat, letting the excess drip off. Add the chicken to the zip-top bag with the crushed chips. Repeat until you have about 4 tenders in the bag.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_25-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Seal the bag and shake and press to coat the chicken with the chips.

Spray the tops of the tenders with cooking spray. Cook until golden brown, crispy, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165\u00b0F, about 10 minutes, flipping and spraying the other side of chicken with cooking spray halfway through. Sprinkle with additional salt to taste and serve.\n<\/p>\n<p id=\"mntl-sc-block_32-0\" class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\"> Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
