Preparing the Chicken

Cooking Methods
Then, simply decide how to cook them! These low-carb chicken tenders can be made in the oven or an air fryer. You will find all of the specific cooking information in the recipe card below, but each method has its advantages.
Oven Cooking
When cooking in an oven, you can cook a large batch at once, which makes things easy, but does take longer.
Air Fryer Cooking
Alternatively, if you cook in an air fryer, the cooking time is a lot faster, and they have that great crunchy air fryer texture. The drawback is that you do have to cook them in batches as the air fryer is smaller.
