BBQ sauced chicken tenders cooked in an air fryer are a tasty and simple meal. I’ll give you a basic recipe here:
Ingredients:
- 2 lbs chicken tenders
- 1/2 c ketchup
- 1/2 c brown sugar
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- olive oil spray
Instructions:
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Give your air fryer a five-minute warmup period at 400°F (200°C).
- Get the chicken ready: Add salt and pepper to the chicken tenders’ seasoning. Three shallow dishes should be set up: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for breadcrumbs.
- Coat the Chicken: Shake off any excess flour after dredging each tender chicken in flour. Next, submerge it into the whisked eggs, letting any surplus run off. Lastly, dust the chicken tender with breadcrumbs and lightly press to coat.
- Air Fry the Chicken: To avoid sticking, carefully coat the air fryer basket with oil or use cooking spray. Make sure the breaded chicken tenders are not in contact with one another when you arrange them in the air fryer basket in a single layer. The number of batches you need to cook them in will depend on how big your air fryer is.
- Cooking Instructions: Air fried the chicken tenders for 10 to 12 minutes at 400°F (200°C), turning them halfway through, or until the insides are cooked through and the outsides are crispy and golden brown. A temperature of 165°F (75°C) should be reached internally.
- After the chicken tenders are done, take them out of the air fryer and allow them to cool for a few minutes before serving with BBQ sauce. Present them with your preferred barbecue sauce for a dip.
- Have fun! These BBQ-sauced air-fried chicken tenders are a great snack, starter, or entrée. For a full dinner, serve them with a side salad or some crispy fries.
