Step 1
Start by beating the egg with a pinch of salt and pepper in a shallow bowl until it’s all mixed together. In another bowl, combine the cornbread crumbs, panko, honey powder, and poultry seasoning. Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, letting any extra drip off, then coat it well with the cornbread crumb mixture. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C). Place the chicken strips in the basket in a single layer and cook for about 6 minutes. Flip them over and cook for another 6 minutes, or until they’re golden and crispy. Let them cool for a minute before digging in!
Why you’ll love it
These chicken strips are perfectly crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Using the air fryer means less oil, making them a healthier choice without sacrificing flavor. They cook quickly, making them great for busy weeknights or a tasty snack.
How to serve
Serve with a side of fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal. They also pair well with dipping sauces like honey mustard, ranch, or spicy sriracha mayo. For a fun twist, try them in a wrap with lettuce and your favorite sauce.
Storage & leftovers
Store leftover chicken strips in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in the air fryer or oven to maintain their crisp texture instead of using the microwave. Avoid stacking them while storing to keep the coating crunchy.
