PRO TIP:
there’s no easy way to stay clean while dredging the chicken tenders. Ttry to keep
one hand as a ‘wet’ hand and one hand as a ‘dry’ hand. Use right hand to dredge the chicken
in the flour, pick up the chicken tender with left hand. Use right hand to place the tender in the
buttermilk but use left hand to coat the tender. Then use left hand to lift the tender out of the
buttermilk and place the tender in the panko. Use right hand to coat the tender in the panko
and then place the finished tender on the sheet pan. Set aside while you make the sauce.
7. Make the sauce:
Whisk together all the ingredients in a small bowl until evenly combined
or put all ingredients in a mason jar, cover with the lid and shake until all ingredients are
mixed. Set aside until tenders are cooked.
8. Turn on the toaster oven and set it to Air Fry. Transfer some of the chicken tenders to the
air fry basket, spritz with pan spray, and put it in the oven. Cook for 20 minutes, or until
chicken is 75C.
9. Place the chicken tenders on a plate or a serving platter and immediately pour some of the
sauce over the top (you will need to re-whisk or shake if using a mason jar before pouring).
10. Repeat until all the tenders are cooked and have the sauce poured over them. Serve
immediately with pickle slices.
