Description

Air-Fryer Chicken Tenders are a delicious and healthier alternative to traditional fried chicken tenders. These crispy, golden strips of chicken are easy to prepare and perfect for any occasion, from busy weeknight dinners to game day snacks.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs

  1. Cut the chicken breasts into strips about one inch wide and pat dry.
