Our air fryer ranch chicken tenders recipe is all the buzz. This crunchy treat is easy to whip up and pairs well with any of our Hidden Valley® dipping sauces.  

Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • kosher salt
  • 1–1½ cups panko crumbs
  • 2 teaspoons Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Seasoning & Salad Dressing Mix Shaker
  • 1¼ pounds chicken tenders
  • olive oil spray
  • Hidden Valley® Original Ranch® Dressing

Directions

  1. 1

    Spray the basket of a 3.5-quart air fryer with cooking spray and set the air fryer to 400°F.

  2. 2

    In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with salt and pepper, to taste. On a plate, mix the panko crumbs with the ranch seasoning mix.

  3. 3

    Dip each chicken tender into the eggs, then press into the panko, making sure to coat all sides. Spray the tenders with olive oil spray (or other oil spray) on both sides.  

  4. 4

    In batches (you’ll get 4–6 per basket), cook the chicken tenders for about 6–8 minutes on each side, turning halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the outside is crisp and golden. Serve immediately with ranch dressing, for dipping.
