The crispy chicken strips are a main course made of meat, very easy and quick to prepare. They are delicious, crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, perfect even as a last-minute lunch or dinner. You will need just a few ingredients to make this dish super special. The chicken cooked in this way will drive everyone crazy, from adults to children. The breading will be very crispy: to make it so special, just use unsweetened cornflakes, but alternatively, simple breadcrumbs are fine.
We can cook the chicken strips in three ways: in the oven, in the air fryer or fried. Below you will find all the cooking methods, so you can choose the one you prefer. In the air fryer, the chicken strips will cook faster than in the oven, keeping the meat’s juices inside, thus avoiding drying out.

Ingredients
- 10.5 oz chicken breast
- 2 eggs
- to taste unsweetened cornflakes
- to taste all-purpose flour (or rice, oat, whole wheat flour)
- to taste salt
- to taste extra virgin olive oil
Tools
- Air Fryer
Steps
First, we divide the chicken breast into 3 slices and cut them into strips.
In a bowl, we beat the eggs with a pinch of salt. We also prepare another plate with the flour and separately crumble the unsweetened cornflakes with our hands.
We coat the chicken strips first in the flour, then in the eggs, and finally in the cornflakes, making them adhere well.
We add a spray of oil and cook in the air fryer at 374°F for about 10-12 minutes, turning them halfway through cooking. Or we bake in a hot oven at 392°F for about 15-20 minutes or alternatively fry them for a few minutes in plenty of sunflower oil.
We serve them as is or with our favorite sauce and enjoy. Bon appétit!
Tips for You
✔ For this recipe, it is necessary to cook the crostini directly in the basket of the air fryer without parchment paper: this way they will cook thanks to the air that passes 360 degrees from bottom to top, allowing for ideal air frying.
✔ I recommend using the BBQ mesh to insert directly into the non-stick basket of your air fryer: the mesh protects the non-stick coating of the basket (which will remain like new) and allows the food to cook evenly, allowing air to pass 360 degrees. You can find it on Amazon by clicking here.
✔ Alternatively, you can use the perforated parchment paper, which allows air to pass from bottom to top. You can find it on Amazon by clicking here: link.
✔ For this recipe I used the air fryer COSORI 4.7 which you can find on Amazon clicking here.
