Coconut Chicken in the Air Fryer ​

Servings: 4

Ingredients

	1 pound chicken tenderloins, tendons removed
	3/4 teaspoon jerk seasonings
	1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
	1/4 cup tapioca starch
	1/2 egg
	1/2 teaspoon hot sauce
	1/2 cup cornflakes, finely crushed
	2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes

Directions

Step 1 Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C) for five minutes.

Step 2 Meanwhile, combine tapioca starch, jerk seasoning, and garlic in a shallow bowl for the dry mix. Beat together egg and hot sauce in another shallow bowl for the egg wash. Combine corn flakes and coconut flakes in a third shallow bowl for the crust.

Step 3 Dip each chicken tenders into the dry mix, shaking off the excess spice. Dip into the egg wash, draining excess, and dredge through the crust mixture. Repeat steps for every tender.

Step 4 Place crusted chicken tenders into the air fryer basket and cook on high for 6 minutes. Turn tenders and cook for another 6 minutes until chicken is cooked through and the coating is crisp.
