We are all on a quest to find the best chicken tender. You know the one: it’s crunchy on the outside and juicy on the inside, so it feels like a total win. For a long time, getting that result meant dealing with a big pot of bubbling oil and a kitchen that smelled like a fast-food place for three days.

But things are different now. Your air fryer is going to become your favorite kitchen tool if you want restaurant-quality tenders without the greasy mess. I’m going to show you step by step how to make the perfect crispy-tender, from the best ways to bread it to how to get the most out of a high-performance setup like the Typhur Dome.

What makes the air fryer a game-changer

Think of your air fryer as a small, very powerful wind tunnel for your food. It sends hot air flying at high speeds, which starts the Maillard reaction. In other words, it makes a beautiful, browned crust that looks and tastes like it was fried.

It’s another week of meal inspo, from random American recipes, to old classics, to fun foods that we have enjoyed. A lot of these meals were super quick – we are in our quick food era, and all of them are very filling as their own items. Side dishes are something I do feel I need to have more inspo for lately!

I always get the itch to do some extra baking and treat-making around Valentine’s Day. Each year, I do these cookie or treat boxes for our local Pokemon Go community, which is always a lot of fun. Valentine’s Day isn’t as big of a deal as it is in America, but it is still a fun little holiday to enjoy. In some of these recipes, the sprinkles are really doing all of the heavy lifting, so you’ll need to find some Valentine’s Day sprinkles that you very much enjoy both the look of and eating!

[Ad- gifted product] At the start of the year, people are always trying to start new habits and take better care of themselves. The start of a new year can inspire people to want to better themselves, as it’s like a little reset or milestone they’ve passed. One thing that easily can better your health is making sure you are taking care of your bones, joints, and skin through supplements like collagen. There are a few different brands of collagen around, though Dann and I have tried Elavate, which have a few different options to tailor to your tastes. I like the fact that they have unflavoured – which makes it easy to add a dose into your food without tasting anything. They also have chocolate and vanilla, which are two good flavours for baked goods as they do have a flavour to them. This brand of collagen is very fine, so we haven’t found any grainy tastes or feeling with the food we have added it to.

I do find sticking to a new habit to be a challenge, as does anyone I think. Elavate send a welcome box, which has a storage container for your supplement, an electric whisk, the collagen of course, and even a calendar that allows you to check off each day that you take your supplement, encouraging you to build up that habit. This is magnetic, which means it can be placed on your fridge, right where you see it! Obviously, it’s pretty easy to add Elavate Collagen to your coffee and tea, and their website have a few baked goods, but here’s what I have been adding it to!

[Ad- gifted product] We have tried a few different lunchbox jellies previously, and have always had fun eating them! As a 90s kid, I feel like fruit in jelly and jelly pots are just a thing we always had. However, as someone who has grown up liking boba tea and popping pearls, I was surprised that they’ve combined the two. Bubble Jelly, a new product by Angel Delight, has brought a new twist to an average jelly.
