WHY MAKE THIS RECIPE

Healthier – Use no oil for baked tenders, and the buffalo chicken tenders air fryer version only requires a light spritz of oil. Flavorful – These chicken tenders are an explosion of flavor, from the seasoned flour to the generous coating of buffalo sauce. Easy and Fast – buffalo baked chicken tenders are ready in about 20 minutes, and air fryer buffalo chicken tenders are ready in about 10 minutes.

INGREDIENT NOTES

Chicken – Cut boneless, skinless chicken breast into tenders using our handy guide below. Seasoned Flour – Combine regular flour with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika or your favorite seasoning blend.

TIPS FOR SUCCESS

Slice the chicken into tenders that are the same size for even cooking. Coat the chicken in the egg and bread crumb mixture twice for a thick, crispy coating.

DELICIOUS VARIATIONS

Chicken Bites – Instead of cutting chicken tenders, cut the chicken into bite-sized pieces, then follow the recipe as directed.   Add Blue Cheese – Sprinkle the finished tenders with crumbled blue cheese or dip into blue cheese dressing.

BUDGET-FRIENDLY TIPS

Buy Chicken In Bulk – Purchase chicken in bulk or on sale and freeze it for later. Save time by cutting into tenders before freezing. Cook Extra – Make a double batch for meals throughout the week or freeze for later use.
