<p>Chicken tenders always remind me of my childhood, they&#8217;re fun and super easy to make. You can make for appetizers, snack or as extra protein for a salad.</p>



<p>I like to make my chicken tenders with a little bit of heat but as always it is optional, especially if you&#8217;re cooking this for your kids.</p>



<p><strong>What you’ll need:</strong></p>



<p>Medium size mixing bowl<br>Measuring spoons<br>Large spoon<br>Air fryer</p>
