Air Fryer Chicken Tenders

These are the easiest to make and the ultimate chicken tenders - crisp on the outside and juicy on the inside.  The best part is it only takes 15 minutes to cook.  


Air Fryer Chicken Tenders

1# chicken tenders
1/2 cup buttermilk
2 tbsp hot sauce (I used Frank's)

Place in a large zipper plastic bag and allow to sit in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours.  

Combine in a bowl ~

3/4 cup Panko bread crumbs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp paprika

Remove the tenders from the bag and roll in the Panko mixture.  Place on the air fryer basket.  Cook for 15 minutes at 350 degrees.  Test the tenders to make sure they are 165 degrees.  Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.  I used a honey bbq sauce.
