Main Ingredients
  • 2 pieces Leftover chicken tenders (fresh or frozen)
Optional Ingredients
  • Cooking spray or olive oil For added crispiness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to heat for about 3-5 minutes.
  2. Prepare Chicken Tenders: If using frozen tenders, there’s no need to thaw them. Just take them straight from the freezer!
  3. Add Oil (Optional): Lightly spray or brush the basket with cooking spray or olive oil to enhance crunchiness.
  4. Arrange the Tenders: Place the chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring there’s space between them for even cooking.
Cooking
  1. Reheat: Cook for about 5-7 minutes for refrigerated tenders and 8-10 minutes for frozen. Flip halfway through for an even crisp.
  2. Check for Doneness: Make sure they reach a juicy internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serving
  1. Serve and Enjoy: Remove the tenders from the air fryer, let them cool slightly, and enjoy them as they are or with your favorite dipping sauce!
