- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken tenderloins
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ⅓ cup buffalo wing sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees.
- Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken tenders, and then sprinkle with the garlic powder, onion powder and salt and pepper to taste. Toss to combine well.
- Place the chicken tenders onto a well greased pan or rack, and place into the air fryer.
- Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping the tenders halfway through the cooking time.
- Add the cooked tenders to a mixing bowl, and pour the hot wing sauce over them. Toss to combine, and serve.
Notes
Make sure to leave space between the tenders, this helps the coating crisp instead of steam.
Tossing the tenders in sauce after cooking helps maintain the crispy texture longer.
Reheating in the air fryer helps bring back the crunchy coating better than the microwave.
Use a meat thermometer! Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
