🍳 Instructions

1. Prep the Chicken

 Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise, then cut into strips to create tenders.

2. Season & Coat

  • In a bowl, mix flour with salt, pepper, paprika, and Cajun seasoning.
  • Dip each chicken strip into the flour mix, then the beaten egg, and coat with crushed Frosted Flakes.

3. Air Fry

  • Place tenders in your air fryer basket in a single layer.
  • Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for 14 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.

4. Make the Creole Butter Sauce

  • In a pan, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in onion powder, garlic powder, Cajun seasoning, paprika, salt, pepper, and garlic paste.
  • Pour in milk and let cook for 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add rice vinegar.

5. Glaze & Serve
