Whipping up a batch of kid-friendly air-fried crispy chicken tenders is a doddle and perfect for a family tea! These tender morsels are coated in a light, crunchy breadcrumb mixture that’s sure to entice even the fussiest of eaters. To start, simply slice chicken breasts into strips, then marinate them in a splash of buttermilk for that extra moistness.
Next, combine breadcrumbs with a sprinkle of herbs and a dash of salt for flavour. Once coated, pop them into the air fryer for a quick cook—no excessive oil required! In under 20 minutes, you’ll have golden, crispy tenders that can be served with a variety of dips, from tangy ketchup to creamy ranch. Pair them with some carrot sticks or a side of sweet potato fries, and you’ve got a nutritious meal that both parents and kids will adore!
