Cornflake Chicken Tenders (Gluten Free)

Kayla Cappiello
These gluten free Cornflake Chicken Tenders are chicken breast coated in crushed gluten free cornflakes and air fried to crispy perfection. These chicken tenders are easy to make and use minimal ingredients. They are a such a hit with both kids and adults!
I love the flavor of the gluten free cornflakes and the texture it gives the chicken tenders. Talk about crunchy!! Note that not all cornflakes are gluten free so make sure you are buying gluten free cornflakes for a gluten free recipe!
