I LOVE this Air Fryer recipe!!

I recently purchased one and can’t live without it! I think the cirpsy chicken and the creamy cashew and jalapeño sauce is the best combo! I hope you like it as much as I do!!

Preparation

Creamy Sauce

In a blender, blend all sauce ingredients until very smooth.

Crispy Chicken

Place the flour in a first plate. In a second plate, mix the eggs. In a third plate, combine the corn flakes and salt.
Coat chicken tenders with flour. Shake off excess. Dip in egg and drain lightly. Press into cornflake mixture to coat well. Set aside on a plate.
Preheat the Air Fryer to 400°F for a few minutes. Place the chicken tenders in the Air Fryer basket, taking care not to overload it. Cook chicken tenders for 10 to 12 minutes, turning halfway through. Repeat for all chicken tenders.

Tacos

Serve tortillas with crispy chicken, toppings and creamy sauce.
