CopyCat Popeyes Air Fryer Chicken Sandwich

Ingredients

1 lb chicken breast tenders
3 cups gluten free bread crumbs use more if needed
3 eggs use more if needed
1 tablespoon mayonnaise per sandwich
4-5 pickle chips per sandwich
1 brioche bun or potato bun per sandwich

Directions

Place the chicken breast tenders on a baking sheet and cover with plastic wrap. Use a meat tenderizer to tenderize the chicken. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl and add the bread crumbs to a second bowl.

Dip one tender in the egg and then coat with bread crumb. Dip the tender back in the egg and then coat a second time with bread crumb. Complete the previous step for all of the tenders. Place the tenders in the air fryer basket.

Air fry the tenders one layer at a time at 390 degrees for 14 minutes. Flip tenders halfway through. Depending on the size of your air fryer, it might take a couple of batches because you do not want to stack tenders on top of each other or you will not get an even crisp.

Spread mayonnaise on a potato bun, add about five pickles. Place one piece of juicy chicken tender on the sandwich and enjoy!
