Air Fryer Buffalo Chicken Tenders
Learn how to make the perfectly crispy and spicy Air Fryer buffalo chicken tenders with just a few simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup buffalo sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne
- 1 teaspoon mixed herbs
Instructions
- To make these crispy buffalo tenders, start by preheating your Air Fryer at 300 degrees.
- In a bowl, combine the chicken tenders, buffalo sauce, cayenne, mixed herbs and some garlic powder.
- In a separate bowl, mix the crushed cornflakes, cayenne, garlic powder and mixed herbs.
- Transfer the chicken tenders to the other bowl, one or two at a time, and ensure that they're nicely coated in the cornflakes mixture.
- Layer them in the greased Air Fryer basket and cook for 10-12 minutes or until they're golden brown and crispy.
Notes
- For an extra punch of flavor and to get those chicken tenders nice and crispy again, brush some habanero oil on them before air frying them.
- To bring a bit of tanginess to the chicken tenders, you can also add a splash of hot pepper vinegar (or just regular vinegar) to the marinade!
- Make sure you grease the Air Fryer basket with cooking spray or olive oil before you add in the chicken tenders. This will help keep them from sticking to the basket.
- Don't overcrowd the Air Fryer basket with too many tenders all at the same time, or they may not crisp up at all. Leave a little space between each tender to allow the hot air to flow throughout the basket.
- Also remember to flip the chicken tenders midway through the cooking time to ensure they get crispy on both the sides.
