Ingredients
- Chicken breast1 ½–2 lb
- Flour¾ cups
- Salt½ tsp
- Ranch dressing1
- Egg1
- Hot sauce1–2 tsp
- Milk¾ cups
- Breadcrumb2 ½ cups
- Avocado oil
Instructions
- Mix the flour, salt and ranch seasoning. In another bowl, stir the milk and vinegar and let stand 5 minutes to make buttermilk, then add the egg and hot sauce and whisk. In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the seasoning mix.
- Flatten each chicken tenderloin a few times with the flat side of a knife until slightly spread out.
- Dip each piece in the flour and shake off the excess. Dip in the buttermilk mixture and let the excess drip off. Coat in the breadcrumbs, pressing and turning until fully covered. Set aside and repeat with all the pieces.
- Arrange as many as fit in one flat layer in the air fryer (about 6 at a time). Spray generously with avocado oil until evenly lightly moistened.
- Air fry at 400°F for 7 to 9 minutes, until golden brown outside and 165–175°F inside.
- Serve with your favourite sauce.
