Ingredients
Scale
- 1 1/2 lbs chicken tenderloins
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Prep. Wipe away excess moisture from the tenders using paper towels. Melt the butter over low heat on the stove, and whisk in the salt and spices. Brush the melted butter over the chicken pieces.
- Air fry. Stand the tenderloins against the sides of the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 400°F or 200°C. Cook the chicken tenders for 8 to 10 minutes.
- Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. If the indicator reads 165°F or 74°C, they are done.
