Preheat Air Fryer:

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) to get it nice and hot before cooking.

Season the Chicken:

Sprinkle the chicken tenderloins with salt and pepper, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Prepare the Breading:

In a shallow bowl, mix together the panko bread crumbs, seasoned bread crumbs, garlic powder, and paprika. In a separate shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined.

Bread the Chicken:

Dip each chicken tenderloin into the whisked eggs, then into the breadcrumb mixture. Pat the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to help them stick and form a crispy coating.

Arrange in Air Fryer:

Lightly grease the air fryer basket or tray with cooking spray. Arrange the breaded chicken tenders in a single layer without overlapping. If needed, cook in batches. Spritz the tops of the tenders with a light coating of cooking spray to ensure a crispy finish.

Cook the Chicken:

Air fry the tenders at 400°F for 7–8 minutes on each side, flipping halfway through the cooking time. The chicken is done when the coating is golden brown, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Serve and Enjoy:

Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders from the air fryer. Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces!
