Chicken tenders are something you’ll likely never get bored of. Even if I’ve consumed chicken daily for an entire week and desire nothing else, I can still find joy in savoring delicious chicken tenders! Their taste is elevated when prepared in an air fryer.
As always, you can skip the sauce if you want to go vanilla!
5 Simple Cooking Tips for Most Delicious Chicken Tenders
- Pat the chicken dry using a paper towel to remove moisture.
- Place breaded chicken on a baking sheet until you are ready to place them into the air fryer.
- Cook in bathes if needed. Arrange chicken in one layer leaving enough room between each strip.
- When all the batches are done, you can reheat them by adding all of them together back to the air fryer and heating them for an additional few minutes.
- Storage chicken tenders in the refrigerator and use them later in salads, sandwiches or wraps.
