Easy and Delicious Air Fryer Chicken Tenders

Air fryer chicken tenders taste just as good as traditionally fried chicken tenders do, but are healthier since they aren’t fried in oil.  I got my air fryer about two years ago. I haven’t used it much, however. Now that I’ve made these chicken tenders, I will be looking for more Continue reading...
