Preheat your air fryer to 375ºF for at least 3 minutes, according to the manufacturer’s instructions for your particular model.

Add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil (or olive oil) to a medium-sized bowl.

Add the paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl with the oil. Stir well to combine the oil and seasonings together into a paste.

Place the chicken tenders into the bowl of oil and seasonings, and toss well to coat the chicken tenders in the seasoned oil.

Transfer the chicken tenders into the preheated air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving ample room between each of the tenders. Work in batches if needed.

Cook for 6-10 minutes, or approximately 3-5 minutes per side. Turn the chicken tenders halfway through the cooking time to ensure even browning.

Once the tenders reach a minimum internal temperature of 165ºF in their thickest part, they are cooked through and can be removed from the air fryer.

Repeat with any remaining tenders until they are all cooked through.

Serve and enjoy with your favorite dipping sauce, or how you like to serve your chicken tenders.
