[email protected]I've made these tenders several times now and they're always a hit. I like to serve them with a dipping sauce made from ketchup, honey, and mustard.

[email protected]These were really good! I used chickpea flour instead of all-purpose flour and they were still crispy and flavorful.

[email protected]I made these tenders in my air fryer and they were so easy to make! I also used a store-bought chicken-style seasoning mix to save time, and they still turned out delicious.
