Crispy Air Fried Chicken Tenders

One of our favorite foods to eat is fried chicken. In the form of a nugget, strip, tender, or otherwise, it’s a food normally purchased via takeout.

My goal is to make the crispiest chicken from home so I can control the ingredients and save money.

About Argo® Corn Starch

Argo® Corn Starch has many uses beyond chicken. Do you remember the tub from childhood? I sure do, and my Gram still always has a container of Argo® Corn Starch in the cabinet. Makes sense since it’s been a trusted brand for over 100 years!

Here are some uses and benefits of using cornstarch:

• Use as a thickening agent in sauces, soups, and gravies.
• Acts as a binding agent in baked goods.
• Create crispy meats and veggies quickly (flash-frying).
• Use in crafts such as sidewalk chalk and slime.
• Naturally gluten-free.

In the past, if I chose to bread chicken, I’d use crushed crackers or breadcrumbs. Although a decent option, I never fell in love with the texture. I also prefer to avoid all the added carbs.

After hearing that Argo® Corn Starch is the secret ingredient to crispiness, I was eager to give it a test. Please know you do not need an air fryer to try the crispy chicken. Simply add Argo® Corn Starch to your preferred coating batter.

I’ve used the flour mixture in this recipe without the Argo® Corn Starch many times before. So, it’s clear to me the difference that adding Argo® Corn Starch makes. Undoubtedly, it’s the ticket to crispy!

Argo® Corn Starch is most definitely the key to crispy chicken strips. The coating locks in the moisture, too, creating juicy bites of chicken that are delicious even without dip.
