I love food with some spicy. If it’s buffalo flavor then I will be eating it.

These Buffalo Chicken Tenders are so simple to make and taste amazing.

They make one of my favorite game say food! If you have little ones who aren’t fan of the spice of buffalo then check out my breaded chicken in the air fryer recipe for them!

How to make Buffalo Chicken Tenders:

Making these Buffalo Chicken Tenders is very easy. You start by covering the tenders in flour, then dipping in the egg and milk mixture, followed by dredging them in the breadcrumbs. Place them in the baking dish. Flip the tenders halfway through the baking process. Once done cover them in the Buffalo sauce and serve with some Ranch Dressing or Blue Cheese!

How to make your own buffalo sauce?

For this recipe, you can either grab a store-bought pre-made buffalo dip or make your own. Making your own is pretty simple and it tastes great. What you need to make your own is;

  • 1 stick of unsalted butter
  • 1/2 cup hot sauce (more or less to taste)

Melt your butter and then add your sauce to taste.

Can I use store-bought Buffalo Sauce?

Yes, you can use store-bought sauce. Use whichever is your favorite brand. I am loving this new Keto-friendly Buffalo Sauce I found called Primal Kitchen.

I love making my own sauce, and I have a full in-depth recipe here for Homemade Buffalo Sauce.

  1. I made this recipe today I didn’t have chicken tenders on hand so I used chicken thighs, I love the flavor but I didn’t like the chicken thighs because it different then the tenders and it have bone in. But I love anything buffalo. Buffalo chip dip, buffalo chips, I am very happy with the recipe next time I’m using chicken tenders instead of thighs great recipe!!!!

  2. These are the best buffalo tenders I have ever made. So delicious. Definitely will be making them again, and again and again. Thank you for the recipe.
