Notes
- Remove the tendon for better texture. Grab it with a paper towel and pull the tenderloin downward to remove it easily.
- Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. Arrange the chicken in a single layer so the hot air circulates evenly, ensuring proper cooking.
- Coat the chicken evenly. Make sure each tenderloin is fully coated in seasoning for the best flavor and results.
- Check for doneness. Use an instant-read thermometer to confirm the chicken reaches 165°F before serving.
