Notes

TO STORE. Keep your leftover chicken tenders in an airtight container in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

TO FREEZE. Transfer the leftover chicken to a freezer-safe container and freeze for up to 3 months. Allow the tenderloins to thaw in the fridge before reheating.

TO REHEAT. Reheat the chicken in the microwave, the oven, an air fryer, or a skillet with a little bit of oil until warmed through.

Recipe variations

Marinate your chicken. Sometimes, I like to make my chicken tender recipes extra delicious with a marinade. I’ll soak the tenders in my chicken marinade or let them sit after covering them in the oil and seasonings for 1 to 2 hours before cooking.
Play with the seasonings. Add cayenne pepper for heat, use more dry herbs for comfort, or slather them in the sauce of your choice to play around with the flavors.
