Ingredients

Chicken Strips

2 pounds chicken tenderloins
1 cup buttermilk
2 cups Panko breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder

Gravy

3 Tablespoons butter
2 Tablespoons all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup chicken broth

Instructions

Chicken Strips

Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
Add the Panko, paprika, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder to a bowl and mix.
Pour the buttermilk into another medium-sized bowl. Dredge the chicken into the buttermilk and then into the Panko mixture.
Place the chicken strips into the air fryer, making sure you don't crowd them.
Cook for 15-17 minutes, turning halfway. Make sure the inside of the fattest chicken strip reaches 165 degrees.

Gravy

Start the gravy when the chicken strips only have a few minutes left to cook.
Melt the butter in a medium-sized saucepan.
Next, add the flour, salt, and pepper to the melted butter and whisk. It will be clumpy.
Pour the chicken broth into the saucepan and whisk. Continue whisking until all the lumps are gone and the gravy is thick.
