Air Fryer Chicken Tenders Recipe

These chicken tenders make the perfect addition for a quick dinner. I also like to meal prep and use these tenders for grilled chicken salad!

Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1 tsp adobo or all-purpose seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 ts black pepper
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp cornstarch (optional)

Instructions

  1. Coat chicken tenders evenly in mayo and let marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Combine seasonings and cornstarch in a mixing bowl, then distribute evenly on to chicken (I like to use the ziplock bag method)
  3. Place the seasoned chicken in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400ºF for 20 minutes, flipping the chicken halfway through.
  4. Remove and serve warm with dipping sauce of choice
  5. Note: No air fryer? No problem. This recipe can also be made by lining chicken on a baking rack and baking the chicken in the oven on 375 degrees for 25 minutes.
