Cracker Barrel’s grilled chicken tenderloins have always been a favorite of mine. This easy air fryer recipe has all the flavor and little cleanup. You can find the original recipe at Love Bakes Good Cakes.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Italian dressing
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 2 teaspoons lime juice, fresh squeezed
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 pound chicken tenderloins

Directions

  1. Place the dressing, garlic, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper into a large bowl, whisk until combined. Add the chicken tenderloins and mix them in, so they are fully coated.
  2. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it into the fridge for up to 1 hour to marinate.
  3. Once ready to cook, preheat your air fryer to 400°F. Spray the basket with olive oil spray and place the tenders, not touching each other into the basket. You may need to air fry in batches.
  4. Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Chicken is done cooking when the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
