Crispy chicken tenders, two ways

Published 4 months agoย โ€ขย 1 min read

Hi Reader,

When my brain is fried, and I can't figure out what to make for dinner, I make chicken tenders. I love how easy they are as a base. You can toss them in whatever sauce you want or just use them as a dip.

Make sure to bake them on a baking sheet with a rack (Amazon affiliate link) to keep them crispy.

๐Ÿ‘‰๐Ÿพ Here's the recipe: Crispy Oven Baked Chicken Tendersโ€‹

The one tip I want you to take away from this recipe is to toast your panko breadcrumbs in the oven before you bread the chicken. That's what gives you the golden, deep-fried look without actually deep-frying.

Now, we must discuss the sauce, because that's really where these tenders get fun:

๐Ÿด Buffalo Sauce if you want a little heat. Five ingredients, ready in about 10 minutes.

๐Ÿด Homemade BBQ Sauce when I want that sweet and smoky thing going on. Way better than the bottled stuff.

๐Ÿด Carolina Gold BBQ Sauce for when I'm in a mustard mood. It's tangy, a little sweet, and a little spicy.

If you prefer to make these in the air fryer, here's a recipe for that.

Happy Cooking,

cooked salmon in air fryer basket

Hi Reader, This air fryer salmon has been one of my most popular recipes for a while, and for good reason. Salmon in the air fryer is not only so easy to make, but the way the outside gets perfectly crisp while keeping the inside juicy and flaky is pure magic. It comes together so fast, and it's so good over rice (y'all know I love some rice) with a side of vegetables.
