Equipment

Ingredients

1 pound chicken tenders (16 oz)
1 tablespoon pure olive oil
2 teaspoons chicken seasoning

Instructions

Preheat Air Fryer to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels to remove extra moisture. Then, add the chicken and oil to a bowl and toss to coat.
Add the chicken seasoning and toss to combine, making sure all the chicken is coated. Add more seasoning if needed.
Place 5-7 the chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in an even layer. Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees. Air fry an additional 1-2 minutes if necessary.
For even cooking and best results, cook the chicken tenders in batches and don't overcrowd the basket.

Notes

Cook time is only 10 minutes but depending on the size of your Air Fryer, you'll have to cook in batches.
