Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the onion powder, garlic powder, smoked paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Place the chicken tenders in a medium or large mixing bowl and drizzle the olive oil over them.
  4. Sprinkle the seasoning blend over the chicken tenders, then gently toss them to ensure even coating.
  5. Arrange the seasoned chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Depending on the size of your air fryer, you may need to cook them in batches.
  6. Air fry the chicken tenders for about 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) when tested with a meat thermometer.
  7. Once cooked, remove the naked chicken tenders from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes. Serve this easy meal with your favorite dipping sauce, such as buffalo sauce, barbecue sauce, or ranch dressing.

Notes

  • Even Coating: Make sure the raw chicken tenders are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture for consistent flavor in every bite.
  • Preheat the Air Fryer: This ensures that the chicken cooks evenly and crisps up nicely as well.
  • Single Layer: Arrange the chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket for even cooking.
  • Monitor Temperature: Use an instant-read thermometer to check the chicken's internal temperature to ensure it reaches 165°F (75°C) for safe consumption and to prevent over-cooking the chicken.
  • Flip Halfway Through: For even browning flip the chicken tenders halfway through the cooking time.
  • Let Them Rest: Allow the cooked chicken fingers to rest for a few minutes before serving so you can end up with juicy chicken tenderloins.
