Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Crispy Air Fryer Chicken Tenders.
Step 1
Start by rinsing your frozen chicken tenders under cold running water to wash away any ice crystals, then gently pat them dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Next, give the chicken a light spray of avocado oil, and sprinkle on some salt and freshly ground pepper to taste—this simple seasoning will elevate the flavor beautifully.
Step 3
Now, arrange the chicken tenders in your air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they don’t overlap; this helps them cook evenly and get that perfect crispiness.
Step 4
Preheat your air fryer to 360°F (180°C) and let those tenders cook for about 15 minutes.
Step 5
After the first round of cooking, flip the tenders over to ensure they brown nicely on both sides, and continue cooking for another 8 minutes.
Step 6
You’ll know they’re done when the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 7
For peace of mind, check that an instant-read thermometer shows at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Enjoy your perfectly cooked chicken tenders, ready to be savored!.
