GOLDEN AIR-FRIED CHICKEN TENDERS

These chicken tenders are coated in a honeyed cornbread coating and air-fried to perfection. I used homemade cornbread when I developed this recipe, but prepared store-bought cornbread is perfectly fine. The spices I use are sold by Savory Spice® shop and I can't guarantee results with substitutes. Serve with your preferred choice of sauce.

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts: This will make the chicken tenders more tender and easier to eat.
  • Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch thick strips: This will ensure that the chicken tenders cook evenly.
  • Marinate the chicken tenders in a mixture of olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper: This will add flavor to the chicken tenders and help them to stay moist during cooking.
  • Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit: This will ensure that the chicken tenders cook quickly and evenly.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper: This will prevent the chicken tenders from sticking to the pan and make cleanup easier.
  • Bake the chicken tenders for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through: Be sure to flip the chicken tenders halfway through cooking so that they brown evenly.
  • Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular options include ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
