Nashville Hot Chicken Tenders have become a beloved dish, renowned for their fiery crunch and mouthwatering spiciness. These tender morsels, marinated in a spiced buttermilk mixture, are then coated in a seasoned flour mix that brings a delightful crunch, all while being lighter thanks to the air fryer or the oven.

When prepared in an air fryer, the chicken tenders achieve a wonderfully crispy exterior without the need for deep frying, making them a healthier alternative while still delivering that signature heat. Alternatively, baking them in the oven ensures even cooking, allowing the flavours to meld beautifully.

Drenched in a robust blend of cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and a hint of paprika, each bite offers a delightful kick that’s perfectly balanced with the warmth of the buttermilk. Serve with a side of cooling coleslaw or pickles for a classic touch, and you've got a dish that showcases Nashville's culinary charm right in your kitchen.
