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!

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.

Don't Want to Use Ramen?
That's okay! This recipe isn't for everyone. You can also try panko breadcrumbs for a familiar taste or you can try my Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Tenders with Popcorners Spicy Queso for another crunchy recipe.

Ingredients for Ramen-Crusted Chicken 🥢

• *1 package of Chicken Top Ramen (or any flavor)
• 1/2 cup flour
• 2 eggs
• 1 lb chicken breast tenders
• 1 tbsp Bren's seasoning 
• 1 tbsp onion powder
• 1 tbsp garlic powder
• 1/4 cup cornstarch
• Pepper, to taste

How to Make Crispy Chicken Tenders (Step-by-Step) 🔥
Step #1 Set out three bowls. 

Step #2 In the first bowl, add the crushed dry ramen noodles. I used a mallet and smashed them lightly on a plate. You can also use a rolling pin. 

Step #3 In the second bowl add the flour, seasonings and powders, cornstarch, and the ramen seasoning packet.

Step #4 In the third bowl, whisk the two eggs. Cut the chicken into thin tenders and preheat the Air Fryer to 350 degrees. 

Step #5 One by one, take the chicken pieces and dip them in the egg mixture, followed by the crunchy ramen mixture and add them to the Air Fryer. 

Step #6 Cook in the Air Fryer for 10 minutes, flipping halfway. 

Step #7 Serve immediately.

Storage & Reheating Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the Air Fryer at 350 degrees for 3-4 minutes for best results.
