Follow The Directions

01

Step

Briefly rinse frozen chicken tenders under cold running water to remove any surface ice crystals. Pat thoroughly dry with paper towels. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Lightly spray the chicken tenders with avocado oil, ensuring even coverage. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. (3 minutes)

03

Step

Arrange the chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer, being careful not to overcrowd. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Air fry at 360 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Flip the chicken tenders and continue cooking for another 8 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) and the juices run clear. (23 minutes)

For extra crispy tenders, increase the cooking time by a few minutes, keeping a close watch to prevent burning.
Feel free to experiment with other seasonings such as garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, or your favorite spice blend.
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces for a quick and satisfying meal.
