Description

These Air Fryer Chicken Tenders are fast, easy, and use just a few pantry ingredients for a great weeknight dinner!


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 2 pounds chicken tenders
  • salt and pepper
  • 1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning blend
  • 1/4 cup mayonnaise

Instructions

  1. 1. Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
  2. Pat the chicken tenders dry with a towel, then season them on both sides with salt and pepper.
  3. In a shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
  4. Spray your air fryer tray or basket with cooking oil.
  5. Brush each chicken tender with a layer of mayonnaise on both sides. Dip the tender in the breadcrumb/parm mixture until it is evenly coated on both sides. Place it on the airfryer tray or basket. Continue until you’ve done this with all of the tenders.*
  6. Air fry at 400 degrees for 5 minutes, and flip the tenders over and air fry another 5 minutes. Enjoy!

Notes

Note: Make sure the tenders are placed a single layer. If your air fryer is smaller, you may need to cook these in batches. My oven converts to an air fryer, so I use these air fryer trays for mine.
