Instructions
 

  • If needed, pound chicken breasts so they are of even thickness. Season chicken breasts with salt & pepper

  • Set up two breading trays or shallow bowls - one with buffalo wing sauce and one with panko bread crumbs. Here's how to customize to your spice level:
    Mild Buffalo Tenders - use a mild buffalo sauce and regular panko
    Medium Buffalo Tenders - use a medium buffalo sauce and regular panko
    Spicy Buffalo Tenders - use a hot buffalo sauce and spicy panko
    If you can't find the Spicy Panko - just add chili powder or hot sauce to the regular panko
    1/2 cup buffalo wing sauce, 2 cups panko bread crumbs
  • Dip chicken in buffalo sauce then coat completely in panko. Pat the panko onto the chicken tenders. 
  • Lay chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with non-stick spray or olive oil.

  • Air fry at 350º for 6-7 minutes - flipping halfway thru. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook in batches. Repeat cook process with remaining chicken tenders. 
  • Cool slightly and serve with Buffalo Ranch. These would also be great with blue cheese dressing & celery sticks!
