In one bowl mix together your Eggs
In another bowl mix together everything else
Add your Chicken Tenderloins into your egg mix
Coat your air fryer basket with some non-stick cooking spray
Remove each piece of tenderloin from your egg mix (let the excess drip off) and roll it around in your dry mix until fully coated
Place your coated tenderloins onto your air fryer basket
Repeat until your mixes are gone
Coat the top of your tenderloins with some non-stick cooking spray (maximizes the crispiness)
Put them into your air fryer on 400F/204C for 12-14 minutes or until your cooking thermometer reaches 165F/73C
Optionally flip them over halfway through cooking

Do all of the same steps as the air fryer but instead of an air fryer basket use a baking pan
Put them into the oven on 450F/232C for 12-14 minutes
Flip them halfway through cooking
