Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees

Remove the tendon from the tenders by gripping it with a paper towel, then place fork prongs between it, and pull through. It will remove the tendon and break the tender into 2 pieces (this step is optional!)

In one bowl, beat the egg.

In another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Add your chicken to the bowl of egg and ensure each piece is fully coated. Then, coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Lightly spray the tenders with cooking spray.

Cook the chicken tenders for 8-10 minutes, until they are golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

Let them cool slightly before serving. Enjoy!
