Ingredients

  • 60 ml (¼ cup) vegetable oil
  • 120 g (2 cups) panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp plain flour
  • 1 tsp smoked paprika
  • ½ tsp Tabasco
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 500 g chicken tenderloins
Smoky barbecue sauce
  • 125 ml (½ cup) tomato sauce (ketchup)

  • 1 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp chipotle hot sauce
  • 1 tbsp honey
  • 1 tbsp malt vinegar or red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp American mustard

Instructions

  1. Heat a large frying pan over medium heat and add the oil. Toast the breadcrumbs for about 3 minutes or until light golden, then transfer to a plate or tray.
  2. In a bowl, place the egg, mayonnaise, flour, paprika, Tabasco and salt and mix to a thick batter. Coat the chicken tenderloins in the batter and dredge in the breadcrumbs. Shake off any excess and place the chicken on a wire rack or baking tray lined with baking paper until ready to fry.
  3. For the smoky barbecue sauce, place all the ingredients in a bowl and stir to combine well.
  4. Airfry the chicken at 200˚C for 7 minutes or until cooked through, golden and crisp. Serve with the barbecue sauce.
