Learn how to cook frozen chicken tenders in the air fryer in just a few simple steps. Air frying chicken tenders results in chicken that is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.
Place the chicken tenders onto the baking tray. Add the number of chicken tenders you are cooking to the air fry tray.
Preheat the air fryer and cook. Set the air fryer to 400°F. It only takes a couple of minutes to preheat. Place the rack into the air fryer and air fry for 4 minutes. Flip using tongs. Air fry for an additional 4 minutes.
Serve. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
Preheat your air fryer before adding the chicken tenders. This helps them cook evenly without burning the outside.
Don't overcrowd the air fryer basket. Leave some space so they get crispy and golden on all sides.
Make sure to flip the chicken tenders halfway through cooking to ensure that both sides get nice and crispy.
