Equipment
- Air Fryer - Basket or Rotisserie Style
Ingredients
- 3 lbs chicken tenders
- 1 tbsp avocado oil
- ½ tablespoon lemon pepper
- 1.5 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1.5 tablespoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1.5 tablespoon smoked paprika
- ½ tsp salt* Optional if lemon pepper spice isn't salted
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer to 375F.
- Pat dry chicken tenders (especially if defrosted from frozen) and toss with oil in a large bowl.3 lbs chicken tenders, 1 tablespoon avocado oil
- Combine seasonings in a small bowl.1 tablespoon avocado oil, ½ tablespoon lemon pepper, 1.5 tablespoon garlic powder, 1.5 tablespoon onion powder, 1 tablespoon dried parsley, 1.5 tablespoon smoked paprika, ½ teaspoon salt*
- Toss chicken with ½ of the seasonings, and then rub each piece with the remaining seasonings as you transfer each piece from the bowl to the air fryer. Make sure to leave space between your chicken tenders when arranging them in the air fryer. You'll likely need to work in batches. For 2lbs of chicken, I had to cook three batches.
- Cook at 375F for 10-16 minutes, flipping at 6 minutes in. Chicken is done when it reaches an internal temperature of 165F. Repeat with remaining chicken.
