Air Fryer Chicken Tenders Recipe

[@chrishinnant3924]

I just got my air fryer today my chicken strips came out super perfect. I marinate my chicken strips in mustard and Frank's Red Hot sauce. And I put them in seasoned flour. And then lay them in the airfryer. I will never fry my chicken pork chops or fish and regular grease anymore. This air fryer is awesome. Oh and I also spray Pam on the chicken after I flower them.

[@roseline4213]

Thanks! I thought that in was impossible to have à nice crust with a flour coating in an Air fryer. I have a recipe where flour is needed and i was afraid i would have to change my recipe to use bread crumbs or panko .

[@priscillac7932]

Does it not get soggy from the mustard and hot sauce?

[@chrishinnant3924]

@@priscillac7932 No it don't. After you put the sauce on the chicken you immediately put it in the flour. After that you spray the cooking spray on the floured chicken

[@priscillac7932]

@@chrishinnant3924 ohh I see I thought you meant marinate like overnight or something. That makes more sense. Everytime I do a buttermilk marinade on my fried chicken it always come out soggy. But thank you for replying. I know some people don’t be commenting back lol

[@chrishinnant3924]

@@priscillac7932 oh yeah that's a No-No. I've marinate my chicken overnight before too and it came out horrible. But just try Frank's red hot sauce and mustard and a couple of dashes of Lawry's seasoned salt but not too much, your chicken will come out delicious

[@gabrielafonseca4034]

I bought the absolute cheapest and most basic of air fryers because I didn't know if I was going to like it and I really enjoy it. Thanks for all the tips!

[@bigjohnson7415]

I thought about doing that, but after watching a lot of videos, I bought a Ninja double sided one with the removable wall between the baskets so it has a big area as well. Best thing I've brought home in a long time! I can actually cook now!🤣

[@gabrielafonseca4034]

@@bigjohnson7415 yeah, when this cheap one gives out I'll get a fancy one

Walmart has a White Color Pioneer Woman 5.8 ct on sale for $35 , it's huge. I actually got it for my daughter & now I'm thinking I should get one for a backup 😂❤ ...you can also make a chicken pizza crust & chicken nuggets out of canned chicken or ground chicken..

So, I'm not the only one suffering this way. 😂

[@ericamichelle99]

Thank you! I made these last night. They were truly the best tenders I’ve ever had. Crispy on the outside, and just juicy enough on the inside. I did smoked paprika and garlic powder and added a chicken rub spice to the panko as well. I can’t wait to make them again.

[@brendatomlinson]

Oh I’m so glad I read your comment! I have a jar of smokey paprika I’ve not yet tried. That will be a good choice for the chicken tenders.

[@kaliarisam7868]

Thank you!

I would absolutely love it if you did an air fryer cookbook. It would be a winner! 🎉

[@lyndabond1443]

I don’t have an air fryer, a scale, no copper pans, No pastry bags, no warming trays or an amazing kitchen. So I watch your channel 😊 😂

[@sugarglazed.]

I made these and they turned out AWESOME :D thank you so much!

[@tomdececco2806]

Thanks John - just purchased an air fryer after watching your French toast recipe - great to have another recipe to try

[@Snowbunny406]

Just made these tonight. Fantastic! I don’t even miss chicken cutlets since there’s always so much oil. Def will be a normal rotation in our house! And half the time to clean up.

My wife and I did this recipe a couple days in a row thanks to this video. Super delicious, cooked to perfection, and definitely a new staple in our household. I'm also amazed at how easy it was to cook!

[@conker3425]

They look nice! I like the fact that you don’t make a joke after every sentence like some of the other content creators, makes the video more enjoyable and bearable to watch. Cheers 👍

[@bruceneedleman1179]

Looks delicious! I noticed you don't trim away any of that annoying white tendon that I find so unpleasant...I like to trim off that large piece (about an inch long) that sticks out.

[@559mile]

I am looking forward to trying this! I saw a few weeks ago on another channel someone marinated their tenders with pickle juice in a ziploc bag for a few hours before doing the egg wash and crust. I tried it iout and it gave the tenders a really nice light pickle taste to them and made them nice and tender!

[@MRSketch09]

02:09 Sir, I saw you "cranking and cranking" on the pepper mill... and I just want to say, if you've never heard of the "Pepper Cannon" by mannkitchen, it's an awesome awesome pepper-mill. I use mine EVERY SINGLE DAY.. and I've not regretted my purchase at all. Its a quality piece of kitchen kit. I'm just giving a heads up. Buy it, cry once, have a life time of fresh cracked black pepper at whatever size you want.. the course setting works really well.. but so does the FINE setting as well. Also thanks for the recipe! I normally deep fry my stuff, but hell peanut oil is getting ridiculously expensive.. But I am super surpised at the airfry cook time. I do my Chicken tenders 350 Fahrenheit in my deep fryer for 6 minutes, and they are DONE.

[@atinybitquiet]

I just got an air fryer for Christmas so I’m excited to try this recipe!!

[@erikab.rodriguez3254]

I really like this fork/hand method better than the wet hand/dry hand method 👍🏻

[@littlevickietee]

This is perfect. I have an air fryer and don't ever feel like deep frying. I've been trying to have more protein in my diet and I'm super excited for this because I can add it to my pasta dishes, make wraps with it, and more!!

[@laurabenson1278]

Love the air fryer recipes. Keep 'em coming, please.

[@dragonlord498]

chicken tenders are one of my favorite types of chicken meals so if i had air fryer would definitely give this a go

[@fasst5511]

I made these tonight and they turned out great. I loved the crunchy breading. I followed the prep exactly. And for once the breading stuck to the chicken. I didn't need the full 5 minutes after flipping. Checked them with an instant thermometer and they were done. Using a Ninja air fryer.

[@brendatomlinson]

I came on KZbin to find a chicken tender recipe and here you are! I wasn’t thinking about using bread crumbs but why not!! It will be only the second thing I’ve made in my new air fryer. I got a small, cheap one, perfect for one person.

[@liukathy7827]

Tried this today! My daughter loved it❤! Tysm!

[@Craxin01]

Man, I seriously need to invest in an air fryer. These tenders with some spicy mustard or hot sauce (I make my own), I'd be having a good time!

That looks delicious. 😋 can you do fries? I try to air fry fries or put in the oven, but they always taste plain and dry even when I do spray with oil and don't turn out crispy. It only taste good when I put them in the deep fryer.

[@kaliarisam7868]

I only do fries in the air fryer. No oil, just good brand of fries. Come out perfect every single time. 400° for 15 to 18 minutes. I remove the rack and put the fries directly on the bottom of the air fryer drawer. I will never fry in oil again! This is super easy and no mess. Enjoy!

More air fryer please ❤ when i make my KFC recipe the herbs and spices are mixed in to the flour, no bread crumbs, then fried. Can i use this method with an air fryer or won't it go crispy? Thanks ❤

[@shabrinaz9877]

Pour like 1-2 spoons of oil to your chicken, rub the oil evenly, add the flour mix the flour with hands evenly... Preheat air fryer on max heat.. Put the chicken in.. fry on max heat for 6-7 mins.. so the flour can crisp up.. then 160°C for another 7-10 mins. No crumbs no problem, as long as You preheat and coat the thing with oil evenly, doesnt need much oil just needs to be evenly coated.. The chicken should still look a bit wet sticking with flour

[@Jamilah-b1z]

Love watching you cook

[@FQ99]

Flour is not the best in an air fryer. Use bread crumbs instead or a lot of people use crushed cornflakes.

[@anayaz82]

Thank you for sharing. Love these beauties in a wrap for a packed lunch.

[@SavoryExperimentsCooking]

I love the looks of these! I might have to make them to serve over waffles for brunch this weekend!

[@amyandbrian1729]

I see you didn't remove the tendon, how is that when eating? Does it make a difference?

[@harlembofill4206]

You can buy them without.🫵🏿 WTH.

[@kaliarisam7868]

When you buy chicken tenders, the tendon is already removed. It is only there on a full complete chicken breast.

[@mysoul5766]

I think they're talking about the membrane in the tender​@kaliarisam7868

[@FBillz]

​@@kaliarisam7868naaaaaah I've came across tenders with that white tendon just sticking out

[@JScaggs21]

Yes, on tenderloins, the tendon can make it a rubbery chewing consistency.

[@buzwa2k]

I have such a craving now😮

[@chaseriley5307]

I got some bbq rub. What are some combinations and how much of each seasoning should I add to the bread crumbs. Wanted to do some bbq chicken tenders but wasn’t sure if I should just use bread crumbs and bbq seasoning and that’s it. Hmm

[@kaliarisam7868]

I would suggest adding a teaspoon of the BBQ rub to ½ cup of panko. Dredge one tender. Then add 1 more teaspoon of spice to the panko. Air fry both and see which one you like better! fyi the BBQ rub should have all the seasoning you need.

A great seasoning for chicken cooked in an air fryer or deep fried is lawrys seasoned salt.

[@brendatomlinson]

Ohhh I just bought that too! Great idea. Thanks!!

[@anderslarsson6587]

Looks gorgeus!❤😍🪐

[@Grandmasterrett]

If you only own a smallish air fryer and need to cook in batches, how would you recommend keeping the first and possibly second batch warm while cooking the others……in the oven set on warm?????

[@normlang1994]

Instead of eggs, I use equal parts mayo (Dukes is my fav) & olive oil for my wet. This makes a super flavorful tender.

[@DRI3DUp9]

Dipping in oil and mayo defeats the purpose of using an air fryer 😐

[@kalilax1]

Bro you know mayo is eggs and olive oil right?😂

[@laurastrele]

Looks lovely ❤ definitely will use some of these tips as mine don't turn out this great. More air fryer recipes please ❤

Thank you for the awesome recipe. Which air fryer brand would you recommend because I am planning to buy one for the first time and thank you ❤️

[@irenestafilas2953]

Hello can you use this mix as well on cod fish too or does it just have to be chicken

[@kaliarisam7868]

I use this mix on everything you can think of! Veggies are fantastic. If you want crispy fish use the panko. I like to use Wondra flour for a lighter taste.

It works great! Just not crispy. I use flour when I want to cut the tenders up and put it on top of a Caesar salad.

Turned out great my friend!

[@BossBeski]

For those that have made this recipe, is there any issues with the Chewy Chicken Tender "Tendon"? Typically, I always pull the tendon out first by gripping the end of the Tendon with a paper towel and pulling it through the tines of a fork to remove in one piece. But wondering if the Tendon somehow cooks out during the Air Frying process?

[@baaenaz]

Can we make and freeze these for air frying later
