Reviews
These were wonderful! Tender, moist and crispy. My husband loved them! The only problem I had is that I am unfamiliar with my new Zavor air fryer. It does not have a basket, but has two non-stick mesh trays instead. The breading ended up sticking to the trays. I would appreciate any advice you could give this newbie!
The first time I made this recipe my husband ate almost all of it! I had to hide some for myself . Now every time I ask him “what do you want for dinner?” He says Chicken Strips!! Tonight we’re having them… again! I’ll take a picture and post. Thanks for making my life easier!
Came out tasty
Didn’t get crispy, and struck to the tray even with spray. I used the non stick foil and that did the job. Instead of seasoned salt I used Sazon, which is probably the same.
Only cook 16 Mins TOTAL! There is a misprint on the cooking time at the top of the recipe, otherwise good recipe. The more heavily breaded the strips are the less likely they are to stick to the basket.
This is a simple recipe & easy to make. My husband & son enjoyed them. I’m new to cooking with an Airfryer. The cooking time was way to long. This recipe waz a complete disappointment. It smelled delicious cooking, but I was disappointed the tenders had no flavor to them. I will test this recipe out again. Next time I’ll tweak the spices & the cook time.
This is a pretty basic recipe for someone who just bought an air fryer. I found the flour to be pretty bland and ended up adding additional spices to subsequent batches. Also, the cooking time on this seemed to be longer than necessary, so I reduced it when making additional batches. They turned out okay, but I’ll probably look for another recipe to try.
Family loved this recipe, especially the Paprika. I added hot pepper flakes and dropped the temperature to 375 on the second batch for a little more moisture.
It needs to be sprayed generously on both sides, including spraying basket first.
I made a couple changes to the flour mixture as far as seasonings but stuck to the rest of the recipe. First time using air fryer. Turned out great!
The cooking time listed is way too long. The chicken stuck to the basket and pulled the coating off – need to spray the basket with cooking oil also. I will try another recipe.
