Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
I added all of the components of a loaded baked potato—cheddar, potato, bacon, sour cream and chives—to my latest quick and easy dish. Every kid will love these chicken tenders! —Cyndy Gerken, Naples, Florida

I used this coating for chicken breast instead of chicken tenders. Quick and easy to make and very tasty.
Can you use the chicken tenders when they are still frozen?
Bonnie, you can also bake these in the oven at 400 degrees for about 25 minutes. Pippercat, I have found for all my Chicken Sticks recipes, that you really want to press and ‘smoosh’ them into the mixture. I also turn and coat them a couple of times. This helps the crumbs stay on. Cyndy Gerken
My husband and I really enjoyed these. They were quick and easy to make. And, they actually had a bit of a loaded baked potato flavor. I had quite a bit of coating leftover, though, so I just cut up another chicken breast, melted a little more butter, and made more. We will definitely ma them again. I just wish the coating would stick a little better (that's why I had so much coating left over to begin with).
Best ever chicken fingers and healthier. My mom and husband love them. First time using an air fryer and this recipe was so easy. Thank you looking forward to more air fryer recipes.
Potato sticks are found in the potato chip/snack aisle at your grocery store..... They look like very skinny, dried French fried potatoes..... They’re in tins, kind of like Pringles stackable potato chips .....
The air fryer was the worst kitchen appliance that I EVER invested in....I took it back to the store...I will continue to use my oven..lol
