Air Fryer Panko Chicken Tenders

Air Fryer Panko Chicken Tenders

These air fryer panko chicken tenders are a sure fire hit with the kids. A quick and easy solution to your appetizer needs. Ready in 20 minutes or less. My kids were practically raised on chicken tenders because they are so easy to make in the air fryer (it doesn't hurt that they will actually eat them as well).
