Description

A healthier twist on classic chicken tenders, made in the air fryer for a golden, crispy texture.


Ingredients

  • 1 pound chicken breast, cut into strips
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Prepare the chicken: Pat the chicken strips dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Season the chicken: In a large bowl, mix the olive oil, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper. Add the chicken strips and toss until well coated.
  3. Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to preheat at 400°F for about 5 minutes.
  4. Cook the chicken: Place the seasoned chicken strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Serve and enjoy: Remove the chicken from the air fryer and serve hot with your choice of dipping sauce.

Notes

For best results, cook the chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the basket.
