Air Fryer Parmesan & Cornflake Chicken Goujons

Treat yourself to these Air Fryer Crispy Chicken Goujons (also known as chicken tenders). They’re coated in a delicious mix of Parmesan cheese and crunchy cornflakes, then air-fried to perfection. Perfect for any occasion, whether you’re craving a savoury snack with your favourite dip or want to upgrade your lunch with a wrap filling. These chicken goujons offer endless possibilities for tasty enjoyment.

Why Use Cornflakes Instead Of Breadcrumbs?

Cornflakes provide a unique texture and flavour profile compared to traditional breadcrumbs, making them an excellent choice for recipes like Air Fryer Parmesan & Cornflake Chicken Goujons. The cornflakes create a crunchier coating that stays crispy even after cooking, ensuring a satisfying bite. For those avoiding gluten, cornflakes also serve as a suitable alternative to breadcrumbs, offering a gluten-free option. Additionally, they contribute a subtle sweetness and distinct corn flavour that beautifully complements the chicken and Parmesan cheese. The larger and more varied crumb size of crushed cornflakes results in a more interesting texture, adding an enjoyable contrast to the dish that uniform breadcrumbs simply can’t match.

Tips for Perfect Air Fryer Parmesan & Cornflake Chicken Goujons

To achieve the best results with your Air Fryer Parmesan & Cornflake Chicken Goujons, consider these tips:

• Crush cornflakes to the right consistency (I use a food processor or rolling pin)
• Season the cornflake mixture (I use salt, pepper, and any desired herbs to enhance the flavour)
• Ensure the cornflake mixture adheres well to the chicken for maximum crispiness.
• Don’t overcrowd the air fryer! Cook in batches if necessary to allow proper air circulation.
• Spray the chicken tenders with cooking oil to achieve a golden-brown colour.

What to Serve with Parmesan & Cornflake Chicken Goujons

These versatile chicken goujons pair well with various sides and dips:

• Fresh salad or coleslaw
• Air fryer chips, wedges  or sweet potato fries
• Steamed vegetables
• Or even just some dipping sauces like BBQ, garlic mayo, honey mustard, or mayo.

How to Store Your Leftover Chicken Goujons

To keep your Parmesan & Cornflake Chicken Goujons fresh:

• Allow them to cool completely before storing.
• Place in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
• To reheat, place in the air fryer at 180°C for 3-4 minutes until crispy and heated through.
