How to Make Chicken Tenders
Chicken Tenders at home are so simple to make. And even more fun when you can make a great spin on the breading.
Baked Chicken Tenders
In our house we always bake our chicken strips. It is a very simple method of cooking, and we can the avoid smell of deep frying. Adding just a little bit of vegetable oil to the chips allows them to crisp up in the oven.
Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
You could definitely make these in an air fryer. You will need to cook them in batches, but they will crips up nicely. Cook for 8 to 10 minutes at 360 degrees in an air fryer, making sure that you check the temperature of the chicken with an instant read thermometer when they come out. The chicken should register 165 degrees.
Topping Nacho Chicken Strips
I’m telling you that you need to dip these chicken tenders in TOSTITOS® Salsa Con Queso. The flavor combination is absolutely perfect. Here are a few other great topping ideas:
