Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Tenders
crispy, crunchy- Air Fried Buffalo Chicken Tenders
Ingredients
- 10 chicken strips/tenders roughly 1 1/2 lbs
- 1/2 cup Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce or other favorite buffalo sauce
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp ranch seasoning
- olive oil spray
Let's Make It
- Marinate chicken tenders in 1/2 cup of Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce for a minimum of 3 hours. I like to marinate mine over night, BUT if you are using any other buffalo sauce (not Primal Kitchen) I would only marinate for about 1 hour. Primal Kitchen Buffalo Sauce has more of a milder flavor than say, Frank's Hot Sauce does. If using a buffalo sauce similar to Frank's, only marinate for 1-2 hours.
- Preheat your air fryer to 350 degrees- setting the drip pan on the bottom rack.
- Meanwhile, in a large ziplock bag, add the panko bread crumbs, seasoned bread crumbs, parmesan cheese and ranch seasoning. Give the the bag a good shake and then add all of the tenders to the bread crumb mixture. Shake the bag until all of the tenders are coated in the bread crumb mixture.
- Lay the tenders flat on the air fryer pan and spray generously with olive oil spray. Flip the tenders over, making sure the do not over lap and then spray the other side (generously) with olive oil.
- Place the tenders on the middle rack of the air fryer and cook for about 7-8 minutes per side (flipping once), or until they reach a temp of 165 degrees.
- Serve with ranch dressing and enjoy!
