Ingredients

8 frozen chicken tenders

Instructions

Prep:

Preheat the air fryer at 390F (200C) for 5 minutes. Starting with a hot basket ensures even heating and crispier exteriors.

Cook:

Place the frozen chicken tenders in a single layer in your air fryer basket.
Air fry them at 390F for 10 to 15 minutes, depending on how thick your chicken tenders are. Halfway through, grab some tongs and flip the chicken tenders over to ensure they turn out crispy on both sides.
TIP: not all chicken tenders are equal, so check cooking time and temperature in the package.

Serve:

Remove the chicken tenders from the air fryer using kitchen tongs and serve them warm with your favorite dips.
