Spray the top of the chicken with cooking spray. Cook seven to eight minutes before flipping the tenders over and repeating on the other side. The goal is a golden brown coating and no pinkness left in the chicken. If you test a tender and find pinkness, return the tenders to the fryer for another one to two minutes per side.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Air-Fryer Chicken Tenders Recipe Variations<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Add cheese:<\/strong> Add Parmesan to the chicken breading for a cheesy, umami-rich way to elevate a simple tender.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Spice things up:<\/strong> Cajun chicken tenders give the nuggets a kick of heat when you&#8217;re looking for a little something extra. Simply add <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-cajun-seasoning\/\" data-name=\"www.tasteofhome.com\/recipes\/homemade-cajun-seasoning\/\" data-module=\"content engagement\" data-position=\"embedded links\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">homemade cajun seasoning<\/a> to the bread crumb mixture.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Get saucy<\/strong>: Finger-licking good tenders could always use some hot sauce to heat things up. Air fry the chicken tenders as normal and then coat them in sauce. Serve with plenty of napkins!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 class=\"\">How to Store Air-Fryer Chicken Tenders<\/h2>\n<p>To keep chicken tenders crispy and fresh, layer them in airtight containers with paper towels between the layers. They&#8217;ll last four to five days in the refrigerator. When ready to eat, simply reheat them in the air fryer for two to three minutes per side to re-crisp the breading.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">How to Freeze Air-Fryer Chicken Tenders<\/h2>\n<p>Making a big batch of tenders makes the most sense, so you can always have them on hand for a snack or when a surprise guest shows up. To freeze, lay your tenders on a cookie sheet lined with parchment, uncovered, and then place in the freezer. When the tenders are completely frozen, which should take five to six hours, place them in a large resealable bag. Remove as much air as possible from the bag.<\/p>\n<p>You don&#8217;t need to defrost your tenders when you&#8217;re ready to heat them up. Simply turn your air fryer to 400\u00b0, and once ready, place your tenders back into the air fryer in a single layer and cook for eight minutes. You don&#8217;t even need to flip them! Don&#8217;t remove the tenders once the time expires; leave them in the basket for an additional five minutes to heat through.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"\">Air-Fryer Chicken Tenders Tips<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-1940072\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tasteofhome.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/Air-Fryer-Chicken-Tenders-FT23_274860_EC_113023_6.jpg?fit=700%2C467\" alt=\"Air Fryer Chicken Tenders \" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><span class=\"credits-overlay\"><span class=\"image-credit noskim\">Taste Recipes<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<h3>How can you make sure the air-fryer chicken tenders are crispy?<\/h3>\n<p>The key to crispy tenders is removing all moisture. The chicken should be dry before it goes into the egg, and your panko should also be dry. You can let the tenders dry out further by placing the plate with the raw, breaded tenders in front of a fan for five minutes. As long as the air fryer is set to the right temperature, and you spray the basket and top of the tenders with cooking spray, they should get crispy.<\/p>\n<h3>What can you serve with air-fryer chicken tenders?<\/h3>\n<p>With chicken tenders, the name of the game is dipping sauce.
