Instructions

If you have a basket type of air fryer, spray the basket with cooking spray to avoid sticking. If you have an oven type of air fryer, line the pan with parchment paper.

In a medium bowl, add milk, lemon and 1 tbsp of buffalo sauce and whisk to combine. Let the mixture sit for a minute. Then add the chicken tenders and let them marinate for 10 minutes.

While the chicken is marinating, add eggs to a shallow bowl & whisk. In another shallow bowl, add flour and spices and stir to combine.

One at a time, take each tender form the milk mixture and dip it into the flour mixture, then the egg, and then the flour again. Place into air fryer basket and spray the top of each tender generously with cooking spray.

Air fry at 400F for 5 mins and then gently flip. Spray the other side generously with cooking spray and air fry for another 5 mins or until cooked through.

In a shallow bowl, add the buffalo sauce and dunk each cooked tender into the sauce. Let the excess drip off before placing onto a plate.

Make the ranch by combining all the ingredients in a small bowl.
