Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken breast tenderloins tendons removed
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tbsp water
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tbsp sesame seeds
  • 1/2 tsp fine salt
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp plain Greek yogurt

Method
 

  1. Preheat a 6-quart air fryer to 390°F for 3 minutes. Put flour in a shallow dish, egg beaten with water in another, and panko mixed with sesame seeds, salt, and garlic powder in a third.
  2. Lightly flour tenders; dip in egg and press into crumbs. Dab surfaces with measured oil, divided between batches.
  3. Arrange half without overlap. Air fry 5 minutes; turn and cook 5 to 7 minutes more until golden and at least 165°F.
  4. Transfer to rack; repeat remaining tenders. Mix Dijon, honey, and yogurt for dipping.
  5. Rest final batch 3 minutes; serve with honey-mustard dip.
