To prepare, these chicken tenders can be cooked in an oven or an air fryer for the best crispy results. Preheat your cooking appliance to the recommended temperature. Place the frozen tenders in a single layer on a baking sheet or in the air fryer basket. Cook for the time indicated on the packaging, turning them halfway through to ensure even browning and thorough heating. They are fully cooked once the breading is golden brown and the chicken is hot throughout. Avoid overcrowding the cooking surface to maintain crispiness.
