Enjoy the delicious flavor of Cracker Barrel-style chicken tenderloins right in your own home with this easy Air Fryer recipe. Marinated in a flavorful mixture of Italian dressing, garlic, honey, and lime juice, these tender chicken strips are perfectly cooked to crispy perfection in the Air Fryer, making them a delightful addition to any meal.
Ingredients:
½ cup Italian dressing
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
½ teaspoon kosher salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pound chicken tenderloins
Directions:
In a large bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing, minced garlic, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper until well combined. Add the chicken tenderloins to the bowl and toss them in the marinade until fully coated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 hour to allow the chicken to marinate.
Preheat your Air Fryer to 400°F (200°C). Spray the basket with olive oil spray and place the chicken tenders in the basket, making sure they are not touching each other. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your Air Fryer basket.
Air fry the chicken tenders for 10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
