Don’t overcrowd the air fryer. When cooking the chicken tenderloins, make sure they are in a single layer in the air fryer.
The USDA recommends that all chicken be cooked to an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit as measured by an internal food thermometer.
The air fryer used in this recipe was the Instant Vortex Plus 6 court and since all air fryers are different you may need to adjust the cook time.
