Look how crispy these chicken tenders are! The air fryer is magical, but so is Primal Kitchen. They just released Jalapeño Buffalo Sauce. Their traditional Buffalo Sauce is awesome, but if you like spicy, you have to give this one a try. It's made from cashew butter and organic red jalapeños. The sauce is also vegan, Keto Certified, Certified Paleo, and Whole30 Approved®.

If you can't take the heat, you can substitute their regular Buffalo Sauce in this recipe. If you would like to purchase either of their buffalo sauces, head to www.primalkitchen.com. Use code "frozenbananas" at checkout for a discount!

Here are some recipes I've made with their traditional Buffalo Sauce!

There's truly no reason to eat frozen chicken tenders when it's this easy to make your own!

Do I have to use chicken tenderloins for chicken tenders?

No, you can use chicken breast and cut them into strips. It's just easier to buy chicken tenderloins. There's less prep work involved.

What if I don't have an air fryer to make chicken tenders?

Bake the tenders in the oven at 425 degrees F for 10 minutes. Flip the chicken and cook for another 10 minutes or until golden and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.

Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb chicken tenderloins
  • 1 egg
  • ¼ cup unsweetened almond milk
  • ½ cup almond flour
  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs, gluten free if necessary
  • ½ tablespoon everything bagel seasoning
  • 2 teaspoons avocado oil spray
  • ½ cup Jalapeño Buffalo Sauce - Purchase the sauce on www.primalkitchen.com. Use code "frozenbananas" at checkout for a discount!

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, combine egg and almond milk. In another mixing bowl, combine almond flour, bread crumbs and everything bagel seasoning.
  • Dip chicken tenders (one at a time) into the egg mixture then the breading mixture.
  • Place the breaded chicken tenders into the air fryer. Ensure you do not stack the tenders on top of one another or they will not get crispy. It's best if they do not touch. Complete this recipe in batches if you have a smaller air fryer like me.
  • When the chicken is in the air fryer, spray with a little avocado oil spray. Air fry the tenders at 400 degrees F for 12-17 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees F.
  • Once the tenders are cooked, place them into a mixing bowl and pour the buffalo sauce over them. Mix gently until all the chicken is coated in the sauce.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite ranch or blue cheese dipping sauce!

    Easy to follow instructions and wonderful flavor. Also a great stand alone chicken tender recipe for picky eaters who don't want sauce. We'll be making this again.
