Equipment
Ingredients
- 24 oz frozen chicken tenders more or less depending on your air fryer size
- olive oil spray optional, see notes
Instructions
- Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
- Place the frozen chicken tenders in the basket, leaving space between each one. Spray the strips with olive oil spray. (see notes)
- Air fry for 7 minutes, then flip the tenders (or shake the basket) over and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes. Or until crispy and cooked through.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the basket.
Cook time will vary due to thickness of chicken tender, size, and breading.
You don’t have to spray with olive oil spray, its not necessary but will help give it a slightly crunchier exterior that mimics a "deep fried" chicken tender.
Serving size will vary depending on the size of your air fryer and how many you put in.
Store in the fridge for 3-4 days.
