Description

A delightful, easy-to-make appetizer that offers all the deliciousness of fried chicken without the extra oil and calories.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1 cup buttermilk
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Cooking spray

  1. Start by marinating the chicken tenders in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.

  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  4. Dredge each marinated chicken tender in the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange the chicken tenders in a single layer.
  6. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown.

For extra crunch, consider using panko breadcrumbs. You can also substitute buttermilk with yogurt or milk with lemon juice.
