Air-Fried Buffalo Chicken Tenders with Tangy Sauce

Air-Fried Buffalo Chicken Tenders offer a flavorful twist on a classic dish, providing a crispy exterior with tender, juicy chicken inside. Coated in a spicy and tangy buffalo sauce, these tenders make a great choice for game day snacks or a casual family dinner. Using an air fryer enhances their healthiness compared to deep-fried options, allowing for indulgence without guilt. Accompany the tenders with cooling ranch or blue cheese dressing for a delightful flavor experience.
