Step 1

First drizzle olive oil on the chicken tenders, if you are using it.

Step 2

Next, sprinkle on seasonings of your choice. This recipe calls for salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Season chicken tenders, then flip them over and season again. Use your hands or a pastry brush to rub seasonings evenly over chicken.

Step 3

Add chicken tenders to air fryer basket in a single layer. Replace basket in air fryer.

Step 4

Heat air fryer to 400 degrees for 10 mins, pausing halfway through cooking time to carefully flip the tenders over.

Step 5

Once cooking time is over, check chicken temperature with a meat thermometer (should be at least 165 degrees). If chicken is done, remove with tongs and place on serving plate.
