Make some tasty Air Fryer Chicken Tenders in mere minutes!

Have I mentioned how obsessed I am with the Air Fryer?  It may just be my favorite appliance.

So much so that I made sure to find a place for it on the counter, which I hate having appliances on the counters, so that says a lot!

I don’t like counter clutter but apparently having them all under the cabinet isn’t convenient for the rest of the family.  Ha!

That leads me though to these fabulous Air Fryer Chicken Tenders with chicken tenderloins.

Air Fryer Chicken Tenders

I adapted this recipe from these Copycat Chick-Fil-A Nuggets, they are completely gluten-free too! I will say too, these are best served warm right after cooking, the chicken isn’t nearly as juicy if you wait and eat them later after reheating them.

How to make Air Fryer Chicken Tenders

They are just perfect right out of the air fryer.

I am certain too, you could make these nuggets as well just by cutting the chicken into bite size pieces.

I used boneless, skinless chicken tenderloins for these and it was a simple way to make dinner.

I am now using a Ninja Foodi Air Fryer; however, you can check out a variety of different air fryers in my post on, How to Choose the Right Air Fryer. 

They even can be seasoned with a variety of seasons to give different flavors too.

Tips for making Air Fryer Chicken Tenders

The key to this recipe is to be sure to marinate them well, so that the juices really soak into the meat.

I would advise marinating for at least 4 hours, but you can also do overnight.

If you are planning them for dinner, just prep them in the morning and let them marinate while you are at work for the day.  Then, it’s simple to add them the air fryer and cook them up for dinner.

We love to pair ours with this Homemade BBQ Sauce too.  What’s your favorite dipping sauce?  I think Honey Mustard is likely my all-time favorite.
