Description

These air fryer chicken tenders are juicy, flavorful, and completely unbreaded for a healthier option. Perfectly cooked in the air fryer, they make for a quick and easy meal.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken tenders, olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss until the chicken is evenly coated.
  3. Arrange the chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they are not touching.

  5. Remove the chicken tenders from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes.
  6. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, marinate the chicken tenders in your favorite seasoning or marinade for at least 30 minutes before cooking.
  • Cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken tenders and the model of your air fryer.
