FAQ:
Can I skip the buttermilk marinade?
The buttermilk helps tenderize the chicken and makes it extra juicy, but if you're short on time, a quick 15-minute soak will still improve the texture.
Can I bake these instead of air frying?
Yes! Bake at 400°F (200°C) for about 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.
What can I serve with these tenders?
They pair perfectly with coleslaw, roasted veggies, mac and cheese, or even tucked into a sandwich!
