4️⃣ Prepare the fries: Toss potato fries with olive oil, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 25-30 minutes or air-fry until crispy. 🍟
5️⃣ Make the dipping sauce: Mix all sauce ingredients in a bowl and stir well. 😋
6️⃣ Serve & enjoy! Plate the crispy chicken tenders with fries and dipping sauce. Sprinkle chopped chives for garnish. 🌿
✨ Pro Tip: Add a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese on the fries for extra flavor! 🧀🔥
