These spice coated chicken tenders are cooked in the air fryer are a quick and easy weeknight dinner. We enjoy ours with a dipping sauce, and Bang Bang Sauce is one of our favorites.

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1.5 teaspoons ground black pepper , or to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt , or to taste
  • 1 pound chicken tenderloins
  • 2 teaspoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
  • 4 wedgess lemon , optional

Instructions

  1. 1

    Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F (199 degrees C) according to manufacturer's directions.

  2. 2

    Add cumin, coriander, pepper, garlic powder, and salt to a small bowl, and stir until well combined. Pat the tenders dry with a paper towel, drizzle tenders with olive oil, and rub both sides, pressing down, with the spice mixture until well coated with oil and spices.

  3. 3

    Place tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket, and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, flipping halfway through. If using a meat thermometer to check for doneness, internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C) in the thickest part. Depending on the brand and size of your air fryer, you may have to cook in batches, and timing may vary.
