Ramen Chicken Recipe

Looking for a crispy, crunchy chicken recipe that’s super easy to make? Try this Ramen-Crusted Chicken—it's air-fried to golden perfection! Jace and I have been hooked on YouTube chef shows lately, and when we saw a ramen-crusted chicken recipe, we had to try our own version. It turned out better than expected, and we’re sharing it with you!

• Total Cook Time: 20 minutes
• Family-Friendly: Absolutely!
• Difficulty Level: Easy
• Best Served With: Sugar-Free BBQ Sauce, honey mustard, or a simple dipping sauce! Also pairs well with French fries, coleslaw, or rice.

This recipe was fairly simple to make and added a lot more crunch than I expected. I used Bren's seasoning which is local to our area. I actually met the man who made the seasoning in our local market. He asked me if I tried it and I said "no," so I ended up purchasing some. His website can be found here and we used the Original Blend.

How to Make Crispy Chicken Tenders (Step-by-Step) 🔥

✓ Step #1: Set out three bowls – You’ll need one bowl for crushed ramen, one for the flour mixture, and one for eggs.

✓ Step #2: Crush the ramen – In the first bowl, add the crushed dry ramen noodles. I used a mallet to smash them lightly on a plate. A rolling pin works too!

✓ Step #3: Mix the dry ingredients – In the second bowl, combine flour, seasonings, cornstarch, and the ramen seasoning packet.

✓ Step #5: Coat the chicken – Dip each chicken piece in egg, then dredge in the ramen mixture. Place in the Air Fryer basket.
