Pat tenders dry and season with salt and pepper.

Set up three bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and coconut combined with panko and lime zest.

Dredge each tender in flour, dip in egg, then press into coconut mix.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium, or preheat air fryer to 400°F.

Cook 3–4 minutes per side in skillet until golden and 165°F inside, or air-fry 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.

Squeeze lime over hot tenders before serving.
