Notes
- Oven Baked Buffalo Chicken Tenders
- You can also bake these in the oven - just spray with oil, then bake the chicken tenders in the oven at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes, then flip and bake an additional 8-10 minutes until chicken is fully cooked.
- Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F, spray the air fryer basket with oil and add the breaded tenders in a single layer. Spray the tenders with oil evenly. Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, adding more oil spray as necessary.
