Air-Fried Pretzel Chicken Tenders with Ranch Dressing

Instructions

• 1Place the pretzels in a food processor bowl and process to form coarse crumbs. Transfer to a shallow dish.
  Tip: They can also be ground using a mortar and pestle.
• 2Combine the flour and salt in a shallow dish. Whisk the eggs in a separate dish.
• 3Working with one piece at a time, place the chicken in the flour and toss to coat. Dip in the eggs then coat in the crumbs. Place the chicken in a single layer, in the air fry basket.
• 4Insert the oven rack into position 3 Down. Place the roasting pan on the rack to catch any drips during cooking. Set the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 445°F, for 13 minutes and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
• 5Generously spray both sides of the chicken with the cooking spray.
• 6Once preheated, place the basket into position 1 and air fry for 13 minutes. When the oven signals, turn the chicken and continue cooking. Meanwhile, make the dressing.
• 7To make the ranch dressing, place the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, salt and garlic in a bowl and whisk until smooth. Add the herbs and whisk to combine.
• 8The chicken should be golden and crisp and read a minimum of 165°F when tested with a meat thermometer. If not, press A Bit More.
  Tip: It may need a little more or a little less extra cooking time, best to keep an eye on it.
