Air Fried Chicken Tenders

You want the prefect Super bowl food without the guilt? Here you go!!!

My every first time using the air fry option on my Cuisinart toaster oven, and I have to say Am in love. There really is nothing better than fried chicken.

These parmesan and everything bagel seasoned, air fried chicken tenders are no exception. Delicious and guiltless these chicken tenders are baked to perfection

using the air fry option on my Cuisinart toaster oven.   If you don’t have an air fryer NO problem use the oven fry method in the instructions.

Chicken tenders have always been one of my family’s favorite food. It’s one of those recipes  I know I can make in no time and the whole family will love.

They come together in less then 30 minutes, I serve them with crispy celery sticks, buffalo hot sauce, ranch dressing, and marinara sauce.

They’re prefect for Super Bowl Sundays, add a salad, some starch and you have an easy weeknight meal that’s delicious enough for company’s coming meals.

I used whole boneless, skinless, chicken breast and cut them, you can use chicken tenders or boneless chicken thighs if that fits your taste.

The bagel everything seasoning adds great flavor mixed in with the bread crumbs and parmesan, but can be salty use sparely.

You can spray the chicken with cooking spray if your air frying to add extra crunch, or not it’s up to you.

These are great for next day reheats or skip the reheat, there delicious even cold or at room temperature.

If you have any left overs these chicken tenders are freezer friendly for a quick ready made meal.

They’re air fried so you don’t have to feel guilty about eating more then you planned, I don’t.

In fact I eat one or two plain, right out of the oven, they can be addicting, and since I’ve discovered the awesomeness of  air frying,

for sure I’ll be making them more often.
