Ingredients

1 pound frozen chicken tenders
avocado cooking spray
salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Instructions

Rinse frozen chicken tenders briefly under cold water to remove any ice crystals. Pat them dry with paper towels. Lightly spray the chicken tenders with avocado oil and season generously with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
Arrange the chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket, ensuring they are not overlapping. This promotes even cooking and maximum crispiness.
Air fry at 360 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 15 minutes. Flip the chicken tenders and continue cooking for another 8 minutes, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
