Instructions
Non-Breaded Chicken
- Season both sides of the chicken with the spices and rub the spices into the chicken. Ensure the chicken is fully coated in spices. Add additional spices if necessary.
- Air Fryer: Add the seasoned chicken to the air fryer and air fry at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes (flipping halfway through) until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer.Oven: Place the seasoned chicken on a parchment paper lined sheet pan and bake at 400 degrees for 15-18 minutes, (flipping them halfway through). The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees when fully cooked.
Breaded Chicken
- Set up a cooking station with 3 separate bowls large enough to dredge the chicken. Add the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs to 3 separate bowls.
- Add the spices to the bowl with the flour and stir to create seasoned flour.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in seasoned flour, then egg, and then the breadcrumbs. Keep a moist towel nearby if your hands get sticky.
- Air Fryer: Spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil spray. Add the breaded chicken to the air fryer basket. Air fry at 400 degrees for 10-15 minutes (flipping halfway through) until the chicken is crisp and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees. Use a meat thermometer.Oven: For crispy chicken you will need a wire rack and baking sheet. Place the breaded chicken on the wire rack and bake the chicken tenders for 15-20 minutes, (flipping them halfway through) or however long it takes for the chicken to crisp. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees when fully cooked.
Load the Tortillas

- Serve.
Notes
Air fry or bake the chicken for however long it takes to reach your desired crisp level.
If you are baking the chicken and want crisp chicken you will need to use a wire rack and sheet pan. A wire rack elevates the chicken, allowing air to circulate around all sides. This helps the heat reach the entire surface of the chicken, ensuring it cooks more evenly and crisps up on both the top and bottom. When chicken is placed directly on a baking sheet, moisture from the chicken (like juices or oil) can collect underneath it, leading to a soggy underside. A wire rack lets any excess moisture drip down, keeping the chicken crispy all around.
Panko breadcrumbs are the best for extra crispy chicken. But if you are air frying you will notice they brown really quickly because they have a lighter, flakier texture with more surface area exposed to heat. This allows them to crisp up and brown more quickly than finer, denser regular breadcrumbs. If the additional browning bothers you, stick to standard breadcrumbs. You can use seasoned standard breadcrumbs if you wish, too.
