Parmesan Crusted Air Fryer Chicken Tenders – Crispy, Flavorful, and Healthy

Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch or marinara.
Leftover tenders can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2-3 days. Reheat in the air fryer for the best crispiness.
Variations:

Add a teaspoon of Italian seasoning to the breadcrumb mixture for extra flavor.
Swap out the Parmesan for another hard cheese like Asiago for a different twist.
FAQ:

Can I use chicken breasts instead of tenders?
Yes, you can cut chicken breasts into strips to make them similar in size to tenders.

Do I need to spray the chicken with oil?
The olive oil or melted butter used in the coating should provide enough moisture for crisping. However, a light spray of cooking spray can help achieve a more golden finish if desired.
