These are so easy to make in the oven, deep fryer, or in your air fryer. We used our air fryer, it's the healthier choice, and it's much faster. We used our Ninja Foodi Grill which is a combination grill and air fryer.
Extra Crispy Chicken Tenders - Ingredients
1 or 2 pounds of chicken strips
1 cup seasoned panko bread crumbs or 1 package extra crispy Shake N Bake
2 eggs beaten
Salt and Pepper to taste
Barbeque sauce or Ranch dressing for dipping
Beat the two eggs in a shallow bowl. Dip each chicken tender in the egg and then, coat the tenders with the bread crumbs.
For the air fryer, spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Set the temperature to 400 degrees. Place the chicken tenders in the air fry basket at least 2 inches apart. If you overcrowd the basket, they won't be crispy. Cook the chicken tenders for 5 to 6 minutes per side until they are golden brown.
For the oven, Place the coated chicken tenders on a cookie sheet lined with tin foil. The tin foil will make it easy to clean up. Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.
Make sure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165 degrees. I use my Thermo-Pro TP-18 instant-read thermometer. It's a good idea to have an instant-read thermometer handy for all of your cooking needs.
Another thing that makes these so easy is that, you can buy the chicken tenders packaged and ready to cook at your local grocery store.
These chicken tenders are the perfect weeknight meal for the whole family. We enjoyed every single one of them.
By the way, the photo could have been better but everyone was sitting around the table waiting for me to take the picture.
