Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Tenders Recipe
Air Fryer Chicken Tenders
Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 pound frozen chicken tenders
- Avocado oil cooking spray
- Salt, to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Directions
Step 1: Begin by rinsing the frozen chicken tenders under cold running water to remove any ice. Pat them dry thoroughly with paper towels to ensure they cook evenly.
Step 2: Lightly spray the chicken tenders with avocado oil. Season generously with salt and freshly ground pepper for flavor.
Step 3: Place the chicken tenders in the air fryer basket. Make sure the tenders do not overlap to allow for even cooking.
Step 4: Set the air fryer to 360F (180C) and cook the chicken tenders for 15 minutes. After this, flip the tenders over to ensure they cook evenly on both sides.
Step 5: Continue cooking for an additional 8 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach at least 165F (74C) when checked with an instant-read thermometer.
