  • Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking oil and carefully arrange the chicken tenderloins in the air fryer basket and air fry at 400F/200C for 10-12 minutes flipping it halfway through or until completely cooked. The internal temperature of the chicken will register 165F/74C on an instant meat thermometer.

    PS: Do not leave the chicken in the air fryer after it is cooked as the residual heat will continue to cook the chicken and make it dry.
