⭕ Copycat Air Fryer Chick Fil A Chicken Tenders and Chick Fil A Sauce Recipe (page 78 in my recipe book!)
1-2 pounds chicken tenders
1 cup dill pickle juice
1 large egg
¼ cup milk
1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
1 ½ tablespoons confectioner's sugar
1 ½ teaspoons paprika
¾ teaspoon salt
¾ teaspoon pepper
¾ teaspoon dried basil
¾ teaspoon garlic powder
¾ teaspoon onion powder
¾ teaspoon celery powder optional* see note
Chick-Fil-A Sauce
¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon yellow mustard
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice or bottle lemon juice
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
¼ teaspoon salt
INSTRUCTIONS
Place the chicken tenders in a Ziploc bag, add the pickle juice, and refrigerate for 2 hours (you can do more time if wanted, your chicken will just taste more pickely). If you are in a pinch for time, refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
After the chicken finishes marinating, prepare your ingredients. In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. In a second shallow bowl or plate, combine the flour, sugar, paprika, salt, pepper, basil, garlic powder, onion powder, and celery powder.
Preheat the air fryer to 340°F/170°C for 5 minutes.
Remove the chicken from the marinade and pat dry with paper towels. Dip and cover the chicken in the egg mixture, then in the flour mixture. Place the chicken in a lightly sprayed air fryer basket. Repeat with remaining chicken tenders.
Cook in the air fryer for 5 minutes, flipping when there is about 2 minutes left. Check the internal temperature of the chicken. My chicken strips were very thin, so this was plenty of time. If yours are thicker, they may need a couple of extra minutes. Add time as needed, making sure to flip the chicken so that each of the sides cook evenly.
Once the chicken reaches an internal temperature of or near 165°F, increase the heat to 400°F/200°C and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, or until the chicken is crispy to your liking and cooked through.
Remove from the air fryer basket and enjoy with Chick-Fil-A dipping sauce!
Chick-Fil-A Sauce
Mix together all the ingredients until well combined.

    Honestly, I get such joy watching your vids. Your kids not only do the taste testing, but they are genuine on whether or not they like something and even tell us why. Pretty cool! Esp your youngest. She is so sweet, and really tells you what she her thoughts are and often in detail, what she does and does not like. So cute. They're all AWESOME kids!! You have been so very Blessed. I've created a play list "Airfryer Recipes" after I started watching your channel. And, have loads of recipes saved, so when I want to cook something you've made I can refer to it and find what I want fast enough. Thank you so so much for taking time out of your very busy days to doing these and sharing with us all. Arlene

    I have a top tip. Instead of egg wash coat the chicken in mayonnaise (normal full fat version). About 1tsp for 150g of tenders. Mayo is just eggs/oil but it binds to the chicken better holding all the spices. The egg in it also gives a good browning. 1tsp of mayo is less calories than 1tsp of oil so slightly healthier. I use it for all dry spice rubs with chicken tenders in the air fryer instead of oil where the spices drip off.

The instructions were limited in explaining all I could really do with it so it stayed in the cabinet for a while. tried here and there but not thrilled as I thought I was going to be. Then I found you on you tube and now it has a place on my counter. Very happy with it now. Sad I don't have another. Thank you.

Pickles are delicious but I'm not sure pickle flavored chicken is what I'm shooting for. I was thinking orange juice only because it's also an acid and the only thing it's going to do is make it taste a little sweeter. I'll give it a shot and let you know how it turned out.
