Ingredients

1 pound chicken tenderloins frozen
1 tsp olive oil
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp paprika

Instructions

Turn the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and preheat for 3-5 minutes.
While the air fryer is preheating, take the frozen chicken tenderloins out of the freezer and let them sit at room temperature for 10 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix together the olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Brush the chicken with the seasoned oil mixture.
Place the chicken tenderloins in the basket in a single layer. Cook the chicken for 10-15 minutes, flipping halfway through. Check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C) using a meat thermometer.
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the air fryer and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or side dishes.
