What it is

To prepare, heat the chicken tenders according to package directions. This typically involves baking them in an oven or heating them in an air fryer until they are hot and the breading is crisp. Ensure they are heated through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Avoid overcooking, which can make the chicken dry. They are best served immediately after heating for optimal texture and flavor. They can be a main component of a meal or a satisfying snack.

How to keep the rest
Store any unused, cooked chicken tenders in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. For longer storage, they can be frozen. Ensure they are completely cooled before refrigerating or freezing to maintain quality.
