Air Fryer Frozen Chicken Tenders

I love that it takes less than 15 minutes to cook frozen chicken tenders in the air fryer. I am going to fully admit to keeping a variety of frozen foods in the freezer at all times that we cook in our favorite air fryers.

Air Fryer chicken tenders are a quick and easy dinner or snack. They taste fantastic when added to a dinner salad.

Ingredients Needed

Frozen Chicken Tenders (Strips)

 

Equipment Needed

Air Fryer - We suggest getting an air fryer that is bigger than you think you will need. We found once we started using the air fryer we ended up using it for more meals and larger meals.

Kitchen Tongs - We highly suggest getting a good pair of kitchen tongs to remove items from the air fryer and save your hands from getting burned.

How to cook Frozen Chicken Tenders in the Air Fryer

Evenly spread the frozen chicken strips in the air fryer basket. Air fry until golden brown and crispy.

Recipe Tips

We do not preheat the air fryer before cooking the chicken strips.

Make sure to place the chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket. You want the hot air to be able to circulate around them.

No olive oil is necessary

Do not thaw the chicken tenders before air frying them.

Don't forget to flip the chicken tenders halfway through cooking.

Cooking time varies depending on the air fryer you are using. Make sure to keep an eye on the chicken strips the first couple of times you make them.
