- Lay the chicken tenders out in a single layer. To ensure the chicken tenders cook evenly and crisp up, lay the tenders out in a single layer on the air fryer tray or basket. Depending on your air fryer, you may have to cook the tenders in batches. I have the Instant Vortex which I love because it has two large shelves so I can cook them all at once.
- Spray the olive oil spray several inches above the tenders so that it doesn’t blow all the breading off of the tenders.
