Air Fryer Chicken Strips Tenderloin Recipe

I'm so excited to share my go‑to air fryer chicken tenders - I make these a few nights a week. The tenderloins are soaked in a spiced yoghurt (or buttermilk) that makes them impossibly tender, then crumbed in crushed cornflakes and parmesan for a delicious, deep‑fried crunch without the guilt. They take less than 15 minutes to cook, and are easily made gluten‑free, so they're perfect for a speedy, satisfying weeknight dinner.
