Description

Delicious and crispy air-fried chicken tenders that are easy to make and perfect for dipping with your favorite sauces.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb – 1 lb frozen chicken tenders
  • Cooking spray or oil (only if you have a non-stick unit)
  • Optional dipping sauce – BBQ (Ranch, honey mustard, ketchup)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer on 360F for 3-5 minutes.
  2. If you have a non-stick cooking basket, there’s no need to add oil or cooking spray; if you have an oven-style unit, then add a little oil or cooking spray to keep the chicken from sticking.
  3. Place the chicken in a single layer in the basket or on the pan.
  4. Set the cooking time to 10 minutes. After 5 minutes, flip the chicken strips over.
  5. They may take 10-12 minutes or longer to cook depending on your preference and model.
  6. Remove when crispy on the outside.
  7. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.
