Instructions

  • 1Place the pretzels in a food processor bowl and process to form coarse crumbs. Transfer to a bowl.
  • 2Combine the flour and salt in a bowl. Whisk the eggs in a separate bowl.
  • 3Working with one piece at a time, place the chicken in the flour and toss to coat. Dip in the eggs then coat in the crumbs.
  • 4Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour to allow the crust to set and prevent it falling off. Meanwhile, make the dressing.
  • 5To make the ranch dressing, whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, salt and garlic until smooth. Add the herbs. Cover and refrigerate until required.
  • 6Set the oven to Air Fry, Super Convection, 230°C, for 13 minutes, enable Rotate Remind and press Start to preheat. Meanwhile, continue to the next step.
  • 7Generously spray the chicken with the cooking spray. Place, sprayed side down, in a single layer in the air fry basket, ensuring they are not touching. Spray the top side to coat.
  • 8Once preheated, place the basket in rack position 3 and air fry for 13 minutes. When the Rotate Remind signals, turn the chicken over and continue air frying.
  • 9The chicken should be golden and crisp. If not, air fry a little longer.
  • 10Sprinkle the chicken with sea salt and serve with the ranch dressing.
