How to cook egg-free cornflake chicken in the air fryer

First of all, preheat your air fryer to 400°F for a few minutes.

Then take one bowl and put the oil in it.

Now get a Ziploc bag in gallon size and pour the cornflakes in it. Put salt, garlic powder, and onion powder into the mix.

After this, seal your Ziploc bag and then shake it up. Next, roll the Ziploc bag by using a kitchen rolling pen to crush it coarsely.

Then take each tenderloin and dip it in oil. Then keep it in the zip-top bag.

Seal it when you have added all the chicken to the Ziploc bag, and then shake to coat the chicken.

Now, take out the chicken from the Ziploc bag by using kitchen tongs, and then slowly keep it in your air fryer.

Then, cook for around 7–9 minutes.

Look at the chicken after the seven-minute mark and test the internal temperature of the fattest tenderloin; if it’s 165 degrees F, it’s done.

Overall, it is the process of cooking an egg-free cornflake chicken recipe.
