Air fryer Chicken Parmesan Sliders

These  Air Fryer Chicken Parmesan sliders are not your typical sandwiches. No, this little sandwiches are bursting with melt in your mouth parmesan chicken tenders, marinara, and oozing with cheese.  Our first eatery was a hole in the wall submarine sandwich sub, and this chicken parmesan sandwich was one of the top sellers.

Many years later it’s still the same ingredients, but I’ve lightened it up by using my air fryer, instead of frying the chicken in oil. Like I said many times before my Toaster Oven/ Air fryer is my most used small kitchen appliance.

3 Tips When Making Air fryer Chicken Parmesan Sliders

When making these Air fryer Chicken Parmesan Sliders you can use chicken tenders or the less expensive whole chicken breast.

But if you  are using the full breast be sure to cut them the same size for even cooking. Second, don’t crowd the fryer basket, leave enough room  between the chicken for the air to circulate for even browning.

Third,  if you want a crisper crust spray the chicken with oil spay. I didn’t use any oil spray in this recipe. Just one more thing ,
