Ingredients

1 lb raw chicken tenders 7-8
2 large eggs
¾ all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Cooking spray

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 F.
You'll need to low flat bowls or dishes to dredge the chicken tenders. In the first dish, add the flour. In the second, add the eggs and beat them, and mix in the salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Dip the first chicken tender into the flour on both sides.
Next, dredge the chicken into the seasoned beaten eggs. Shake off the excess egg.
Lastly, dip the chicken tender back into the flour. Shake off the excess flour.
Continue dredging all of the chicken tenderloins and lay them in the preheated air fryer basket. Spritz or spray the chicken tenders on both sides with olive oil or avocado oil.
Air fryer the chicken tenders with flour coating on 400 F for a total of 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 F when tested with a digital meat thermometer. Enjoy!

Notes

Serve tenders with your favorite dipping sauce such as BBQ, ranch, mustard sauce, or ketchup.

Feel free to experiment with the seasoning based on what you're cooking for dinner. Adding Italian seasoning, dried rosemary, chicken rub, or your favorite store-bought seasoning such as McCormick's can be used instead.

This is not a good recipe to double unless you want to cook the chicken in batches, the chicken needs to be spaced out in the air fryer for even cooking.

All air fryer models vary slightly and might cook a little faster or slower than the Cosori used to test the recipe. Be sure to keep a close eye on the recipe the first time you go to make it so the chicken doesn't overcook.
