  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 eggs, whisked
  • 3 oz. pretzel sticks

Instructions

  • Place pretzels in a food processor and pulse until pretzels turn to crumbs. Or you can put the pretzels in a large zip up bag and use a rolling pin, frying pan or meat tenderizer to turn the pretzels into crumbs. Put the pretzels into a bowl.
  • Add flour to a bowl with garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper. Stir together.
  • Assemble the bowls from left to right starting with the seasoned flour, eggs then pretzel crumbs.
  • Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
  • Dredge a piece of chicken in the flour, then eggs and finally the pretzel crumbs. Make sure to coat all sides of the chicken. Place the chicken on a baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken.

  • Place the chicken into the air fryer in a single layer. Spray chicken with olive oil. Cook 8-10 minutes turning halfway through. Chicken is fully cooked once it has reached 165 degrees on the inside.

For the oven:

  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
  • Spray the chicken with olive oil spray. Bake in the oven 15-20 minutes turning halfway through. Chicken is fully cooked once it has reached 165 degrees on the inside.
