Chicken Tenders - Air Fryer

These didn't even need much sauce. They were so juicy. The first batch had a super thick piece so we had to put it in for another 4 minutes but the remainder cooked perfectly in 12 minutes as the recipe directs.


INGREDIENTS

  • 1.5 lbs chicken tenders
  • Salt and black pepper
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 Tablespoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • ¼ teaspoon ground thyme (optional)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground mustard (optional) didn't use this
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted Italian seasoning didn't use this

INstructions

STEP 1. In a small bowl combine the parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, oregano, thyme, mustard and Italian seasoning, set aside.

STEP 2. Season chicken tenders with salt and black pepper to taste, roll the chicken tenders into the mix until well coated.

STEP 3. Place the chicken tender inside of the air fryer basket in a single layer on the bottom, put the basket into the inner pot, place the air fryer lid on top. Set the temperature Air fry to 385F for 12 minutes.

(Make sure the instant pot pressure cooker isn’t plug in ).

STEP 4. The instant pot air fryer lid will pause in the middle of the cooking time and tell you when it is time to flip your chicken tenders, flip the chicken tenders, and place the lid back on.

(If you don’t open the lid, it will resume cooking on its own.) 

Once the time is done, open your instant pot air fryer lid, remove the chicken tenders and repeat with the remaining tenders.

Serve to your liking.

HOW LONG TO COOK CHICKEN TENDERS IN THE AIR FRYER

The ideal time to make this recipe is 12 minutes. But If you want to try higher temperature then you need to decrease the cooking time 

If you have some leftover and want to reheat them:

I recommend doing so in the air fryer for 2- minutes.
