Ingredients
  

  • 8 Chicken Tenderloins Boneless
  • 4 Tbsp Butter Melted
  • 1/2 Cup Buffalo Sauce
  • 1 Cup Gluten-Free or Regular Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Tbsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 Tsp Salt
  • 1/2 Tsp Pepper
  • Grapeseed or Olive Oil Cooking Spray

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the butter and buffalo sauce and set aside.
  • In another bowl, combine the bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  • Completely pat the chicken dry - this is necessary to keep the breading on the chicken when eating.
  • Dip each chicken piece into the buffalo sauce mixture then fully coat with the breading and place in the air fryer basket evenly.
  • Cook for 12-15 minutes in the air fryer at 390°F or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches at least 165°F.
  • Once done, carefully remove and serve with a dipping sauce of choice.

Notes

If you prefer a higher smoke point spray, use grapeseed oil.
It is imperative that you fully dry the chicken before breading it to keep the breading attached to the chicken when serving.
