Gluten Free Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
I finally got an air fryer and I have to say, it’s as good as everyone says it is! Necessary? Not really, you can always use your oven. But with an air fryer you can use much less oil and still get the same crispy results. Plus it preheats and cooks way faster than a regular oven. I am literally always looking for ways to save time.
I think I forgot how good chicken tenders are. I haven’t made them in forever, and probably haven’t eaten them since Friendly’s was still a thing (because I definitely got the chicken tender basket and then a black raspberry ice cream in once of those cold metal glasses with chocolate sprinkles basically every time). I was a 90’s kid and my town was lacking in the restaurant department haha. Anyway! These Gluten Free Air Fryer Chicken Tenders are so flavorful! If you don’t have an air fryer, you can just bake in your oven until cooked through!
