Air Fryer Chicken Tenders (no breading)
These air fryer chicken tenders with no breading are a quick and easy way to cook up a tasty protein.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons paprika
- ½ teaspoon dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer for 5 minutes at 400 degrees F.
- Add the chicken tenders to a large bowl. Add the oil and mix to coat the chicken.
- Add all the seasonings to a bowl and stir to combine. Add the seasonings to the chicken and then coat the chicken in all the seasonings.
- Add chicken to the air fryer in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches). Cook for 8-10 minutes at 400 degrees F.
Notes
- If you can't find chicken tenders, you can use chicken breast and cut it to chicken tender size. If you cut them slightly bigger though, they may need a longer cook time.
- The seasonings can be customized for whatever you like! Cook time should remain the same.
- I have not needed to flip, however if you notice that your air fryer is not getting one side browned, you can flip halfway through cooking.
- To reheat leftovers, pop back in the air fryer for 2 minutes.
- I love slicing the chicken tenders up and serving in salads or pasta. They are also great for meal prep!
