Chicken tenders **never disappoint**. With chicken being a daily menu item, these tenders **delight the palate** each time! An air fryer **boosts** their deliciousness, making them incredibly tasty. **Crunchy on the outside and tender within**, they’re always a joy to eat!

As always, you can skip the sauce if you want to go vanilla!
