Full recipe and amounts can be found in the recipe card below. 

• Chicken breasts. 
• Flour. 
• Salt. 
• Eggs. 
• Breadcrumbs. I used fresh breadcrumbs but panko or seasoned breadcrumbs can also be used.
• Lemon pepper. 
• Parsley. 

For the dipping sauce:

How to make Airfryer chicken strips

1. Bread the chicken: Slice boneless, skinless chicken breasts into strips. Place the flour and salt in one bowl and mix well. Whisk the eggs into another bowl. Finally, mix the breadcrumbs with the lemon pepper, parsley and salt in another bowl. Alternatively use ziploc bags for the dry ingredients. Coat the chicken first in the flour, then in the egg and finally in the breadcrumbs.
2. Cook the chicken: Place the chicken in an Airfryer. Drizzle or spray with olive oil (optional). Set the temperature to 200ºC/390ºF and cook for 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, turn the chicken fingers over and cook for another 3-5 minutes until crisp and golden. If you don’t have an Airfryer, these chicken strips can be baked at 220ºC until crisp and golden or fried in vegetable oil.
3. Make the sauce: Combine all the ingredients in a mixing bowl and mix well.
4. Serve: Remove the chicken strips once cooked and serve with lemon wedges and dipping sauce.
