From one mom to another tips and tricks-
Serve with a tossed salad and/or Trader's Joe's Sweet Potato fries! I normally pop the sweet potato fries in the air fryer while I am frying my chicken tenders. On really busy nights, I use a bagged salad if I don't have time to make a fresh one. And that's ok!
The buttermilk soak is such a game changer for keeping chicken tenders juicy—I've learned that the hard way with dry ones in the past. That double-dip in the flour and egg mix sounds like it gets the perfect crunchy crust too. Speaking of perfect pairings, this reminds me of how I'll sometimes have a quick game of krillion on my phone while the oil heats up, since it only takes a couple minutes per round. Definitely trying that honey mustard sauce this weekend!
