Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Breast Strips
When it comes to chicken recipes, there’s nothing as great as crispy chicken strips. This Air Fryer chicken breast recipe is not only delicious, but also quick and insanely easy to make. We love this recipe especially for children (and those young at heart), because it’s a way of having crispy chicken strips without the harmful oils of deep-frying techniques.
These strips are also a great option for entertaining guests, especially as appetizers during a party or quick snacks. It’s also yet another way to exploit the benefits of your Air Fryer. It takes little time, it tastes great, and above all, it’s simple. We like to accompany these with tomato sauce, barbecue sauce and sweet honey mustard. They also make a great and fun dinner for those days of the week when the salad just won’t cut it. However, it continues to be a guilt-free way of enjoying a crispy meal. If you try it and love it, let us know in the comments!
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch-thick strips, making sure to remove the skin.
Prepare 3 bowls
Place the egg on the first bowl and the flour on the second. On the third, combine the panko crumbs, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, oregano, cayenne and salt and pepper to taste.
Dip the chicken strips one at a time into the flour, then the eggs, and then the panko mixture. Press firmly to coat.
Place coated chicken strips into the Air Fryer and spray lightly with oil. Make sure air can flow evenly through all parts of the chicken. Cook at 375°F for 15 minutes, until golden brown.
If needed, cook for 5 more minutes. To know if your strips are done, you can use a food thermometer like this one. Chicken is cooked once it reaches 165°F on the center.
Transfer to a plate and top with fresh basil.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
