Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • 1 pound chicken tenders<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1 tablespoon paprika<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust according to your spice preference)<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/em><\/li>\n
  • 1\/4 teaspoon black pepper<\/em><\/li>\n
  • Cooking spray or olive oil<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Instructions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. Preheat your air fryer to 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C) for about 5 minutes.<\/em><\/li>\n
    2. In a small bowl, combine paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, dried thyme, dried oregano, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to create the blackened seasoning.<\/em><\/li>\n
    3. Pat dry the chicken tenders with paper towels to remove excess moisture. This will help the seasoning stick better.<\/em><\/li>\n
    4. Lightly coat the chicken tenders with cooking spray or brush them with a small amount of olive oil to help the seasoning adhere.<\/em><\/li>\n
    5. Sprinkle the blackened seasoning mixture evenly over the chicken tenders, making sure to coat both sides.<\/em><\/li>\n
    6. Place the seasoned chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket, without overcrowding. If needed, cook them in multiple batches.<\/em><\/li>\n
    7. Cook the chicken tenders in the air fryer at 400\u00b0F (200\u00b0C) for 8-10 minutes, flipping them halfway through the cooking time. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken tenders and the air fryer model, so adjust accordingly.<\/em><\/li>\n
    8. Check the internal temperature of the chicken tenders with a meat thermometer. They should reach an internal temperature of 165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C) to ensure they are fully cooked.<\/em><\/li>\n
    9. Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders from the air fryer and let them rest for a few minutes before serving.<\/em><\/li>\n
    10. Serve the blackened chicken tenders hot with your favorite dipping sauces, such as ranch dressing or BBQ sauce. They can be enjoyed as a main dish, in sandwiches, wraps, or on top of salads.<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
