Equipment

Ingredients

8 chicken tenderloins
1 tsp salt or to taste
1/4 tsp ground black pepper or to taste
1 tsp granulated garlic or to taste
1 tsp paprika powder or to taste
1/2 tsp celery salt or to taste
1/4 tsp oregano or to taste

Instructions

Preheat the air fryer to 375 degrees F for 5 minutes.
Pat dry the chicken tenderloins with a paper towel.
In a small bowl, combine the salt, pepper, granulated garlic, paprika powder, oregano and celery salt.
Season the chicken tenders on all sides with the spices. For an even bigger kick try 2-3 tsp of this KFC Spice Blend instead.
Spray the inside of the air fryer with an olive oil mist spray which is safe for air fryers.
Transfer the unbreaded chicken tenders to the air fryer and cook at 375 degrees F for 12-15 minutes (flipping halfway) or until a kitchen thermometerinserted into the thickest part of the chicken reads 165 degrees F.
Serve with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
