So, you got an air fryer, and if you have kids, you have been making lots of Air Fryer Chicken Tenders. Today, I wanted to share 24 Of The Best Air Fryer Chicken Tenders You’ll Ever Make with you.

While Chicken Tenders are amazing, doing the same ones over and over gets boring, so today, I wanted to show you all the different types you can make in the Air Fryer.

Air Fryer Chicken Tenders were always one of my kid’s favorite meals, they go by many different names, but they all have one thing in common, they are all delicious.

What Different Names Are There?

When we have children, we call them chicken fingers, chicken strips, or chicken tenderloins.

But, armed with an air fryer and two hungry teenage boys, they are quickly becoming an everyday meal.  The best thing about them is everyone loves them and using the Air Fryer; you use hardly any oil!

So, whether you wanted a breaded version, an unbreaded version, a seasoned variety, or a fun variety, I have you covered!

So, the next time that your children are begging you to go to Popeyes, Chick-Fil-A, McDonald’s, or even Burger King, surprise them with a tasty air-fried alternative.
