 Chicken tenders. Get some chicken tenders in the air fryer. Let me just say this. We have a video on YouTube already that is pretty popular and the quality is terrible. I had just gotten an air fryer. I really hadn't learned a whole lot about them and let me just say I've come a long way baby. So we're gonna get started on some chicken tenders that taste real good in the air fryer. It's where we cook like mama did. Mama didn't have an air fryer but this mama does. We're going to go ahead and season some flour before I touch my chicken. This is just a large breast. We're gonna cut it into tenders. So we're gonna use some flour and I'm not making a whole bunch. So you can always alter this recipe if you want to. This is just two-thirds a cup. So you can double it if you're gonna make a bunch of them. We'll put in about a teaspoon of pepper and paprika you want to use plenty of it. So we're going to use almost a tablespoon and then for onion powder about a half teaspoon. And we're gonna mix that up good. And that's what we're gonna batter it with in just a minute because really we're not gonna use a lot of flour. We're just gonna dredge it in it. I'm gonna use bread crumbs, panko. And that's what's gonna make it really crunchy for the air fryer. So like I said we're barely gonna even put it in this flour. And I've got a half a stick of melted butter right here that we're gonna be using. You're gonna take a chicken breast and you're gonna want the pieces thin enough that they don't take forever to get done. So I'm gonna have it right down the middle and then I'm gonna cut strips in it. The key to making something in the air fryer is that it has plenty of oil on it already because there's no grease. And you can't fry something without grease at least a little bit. And it'd be fit to eat. We've learned that the hard way on some things. Even for each fries if you make them homemade you gotta toss them in some olive oil. So I'm gonna take out my air fryer basket and we are going to start doing our thing with our chicken. I think that's gonna be enough bread crumbs. It's gonna use a lot of bread crumbs. I will tell you that. So make sure you get out plenty. And the first thing we're going to do is lay our chicken in this butter and toss it good. Get plenty of butter on it. Now the chicken is cold because I just took it out of the refrigerator and I really should have let it sit out for a few minutes. So you can already see that the butter is already trying to harden on it. Which is really probably a good thing because it'll just make it more sticky for the flour. Now we're gonna take each piece and we're going to lightly dredge it in the flour. Not a whole lot because you want it to be sticky enough for the bread crumbs to stick to it. So I press it into them and you really gotta press them on with your fingers. If you want it to get it a nice and crunchy chicken tender. Most of the time when we make chicken in the air fryer we make bone-in chicken but it's good like this too. The least you handle these the better off you are because of the bread crumbs. I'm just barely going to place them back in here and pick up my mess and then we're going to put them in the air fryer. That's a really big one. Now I always spray my air fryer even if it isn't nonstick you spray it. Let's smoke clear. Now I got a really big one. We're gonna put it right in the middle. And I prefer not to use tongs to do this because it'll pull some of the panko off. You need to do this gently. I want to put one more in here. I think I can do this one. And so we're going to put this on fried chicken setting. Now I will let you see what temperature that is for my air fryer. This is a Kasuri air fryer course. You can get it on our website or in our Amazon store. We really love it. I have used about three or four different kinds and this is my favorite. I'm going to press the fried chicken. Set 380 degrees at 25 minutes. Now I'm not going to cook these for 25 minutes because they're boneless and skinless. Okay. So I'm going to set the timer for a different time. And I'm going to take it down to 15. And then half at half time we'll turn them over. And I'm going to use this meat hood because you don't have to really touch much of the chicken. If you don't have one of these, it really saves your crust because a pair of tongs would just grab that and just fall right off. And I'm going to flip this chicken and then we're going to continue to cook it until it's nice and brown. We'll see how it looks in eight minutes. We may cook it a little longer. I want to be pretty and brown. Here they are after 15 minutes. They look beautiful. I'm going to put them in my tray. My platter for y'all so y'all can see them. It's really big and we'll put these baby ones in here first and like these two pretty ones on the top. Now I have had people complain about this recipe although it is a delicious recipe. And you need to do what I told you to do and make sure that you press the panko onto them really well. Don't use tongs or all of it's going to fall off. And just follow the directions. Watch the tutorial. You're going to get it right. And you're going to love this recipe. Don't they look good? Air fryer chicken tenders. I'm going to set them right here. I got my favorite dipping sauce. Since it's been so long since I made these I'm curious to see how good they are. I know they're not as good as my fried chicken fingers but I bet they're really good. I'm going to use the baby one first to get a bite. You can see they got plenty of crunch on them. It's really good. That's pretty good for boneless skinless chicken and an air fryer. It really is. Y'all give this recipe a try you will not be disappointed. If you just don't want to deep fry your chicken fingers and you want to use your air fryer this is a great recipe for air fried chicken fingers. That really is yummy.
