    • 🌾 2 cups all purpose flour, divided
    • 1/2 cup bread crumbs

  • Spices & Seasonings

    • 4 teaspoons paprika

    • 2 teaspoons confectioners' sugar

    • 1 teaspoon dry mustard
    • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
    • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder
    • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

STEPS

1

Slice chicken breasts into 1-inch strips lengthwise and place in a shallow pan.

2

Whisk pickle juice, milk, and liquid smoke together in a cup; pour over chicken, and place chicken into the refrigerator to marinate for 30 minutes.

3

Whisk eggs and ranch dressing together in a shallow bowl. Place 1 cup flour in a separate shallow bowl.

4

Whisk remaining 1 cup flour, breadcrumbs, paprika, white pepper, garlic salt, confectioners’ sugar, thyme, basil, oregano, celery salt, black pepper, dry mustard, ginger, chili powder, and salt together in another shallow bowl.

5

Preheat the air fryer to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Drain chicken strips and thoroughly dry with paper towels.

6

Dredge chicken strips in flour. Then dip strips in egg mixture, letting the excess drip back into the bowl. Drop chicken strips, 1 at a time, in the breadcrumb mixture and coat thoroughly.

7

Lay strips in a single layer without touching into the air fryer basket. Thoroughly spray with coconut oil. Air fry for 6 minutes. Turn chicken over; spray with coconut oil, and continue to air fry for about 6 more minutes. Repeat with remaining chicken pieces.
