Equipment

  • Air Fryer

Ingredients

  • 1 Pound Raw Frozen Chicen Tederloins
  • 2 Tbsp Avocado Oil or Olive Oil
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Onion Powder

Instructions

  • Turn on air fryer to 350 degrees and set timer to 15 mins. Since the chicken is frozen, cooking at 350 will prevent the chicken from drying out.
  • In a small bowl add oil and spices and mix until well combine.
  • Brush the spice mixture over the frozen chicken tenders. Cover the whole tenderloin in the oil mixture, so they don't dry out.
  • Add the frozen chicken tenders to the air fryer in a single layer and cook for 15 mins. Flip them half way through cooking. Cook until the internal temp is 165 degrees. Different air fryers will have different cook times, that why it's important to check the temp.
  • Once the chicken has reach 165 degrees, remove from the oven and let rest for a few mins.
  • Enjoy!
