Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb skinless chicken tenders
- 1 1/2 Tbsp olive oil
- 1/2 Tbsp smoked paprika
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 2 tsp granulated garlic
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
Instructions
- If you haven't done so already, be sure to cut the tendons off the chickens tenders. Here's a video to show you the easiest way to remove the tendons!
- Gently dab and dry off your chicken with some paper towels and place in a small bowl. Drizzle the olive oil on and coat it all to coat.
- Once it's oiled, add the all the spices: smoked paprika, onion powder, garlic, salt and pepper. Stir well to coat.
- If your air fryer has a pre-heat function, go ahead and preheat it, setting the temperature to 400 degrees F. If it doesn't have a pre-heat function, pre-heat your air fryer for 3 minutes on 400.
- Once the air-fryer is up to temp, spray some cooking oil on the air-fryer basket/rack and gently place the chicken tenders inside in a single layer, nothing overlapping. Cook the tenders for 10 minutes, flipping the chicken half-way through the cook with tongs.
- Once the air-frying is complete, be sure to check the internal temperature of the fattest piece of chicken to make sure it is at least 165 degrees.
- Remove chicken and keep warm in a 200 degree oven or serve immediately.
