12 leftover chicken tenders or as many as you have, and will fit inside the air fryer

Preheat the air fryer to 375F / 190C.
Place chicken tenders in a single layer inside the air fryer basket or tray.
Cook for 4-6 minutes, turning the tenders over halfway through the cook time.
The chicken should be crispy and heated through to an internal temperature of 165F / 74C.

Preheat the oven to 400F / 200C.
Place chicken tenders onto an oven-proof wire rack over a baking tray.
Cook for 12-15 minutes, turning the tenders over halfway through the cook time.
The chicken should be crispy and heated through to an internal temperature of 165F / 74C.

Allow the chicken tenders to come to room temperature for 30 minutes before reheating.
No oil is needed.
Don’t crowd the air fryer basket. Cook in a single layer and cook in batches if necessary.
Flip the chicken halfway through the cooking time.
Watch the chicken closely as you may need to adjust the cooking time for smaller and larger pieces.
Always check for doneness with a meat thermometer. The temperature should be 165F / 74C when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.
If reheating in the oven, place the chicken on an oven-proof wire rack for the crispiest coating.
Once reheated, do not reheat again or the chicken may become dry.
Air Fryer temperatures can vary depending on the make and model. It’s best to start with less cooking time, check food for doneness, then add more time as needed.
Storage – leftover chicken tenders can be stored in the fridge for up to 4 days.
