Main Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried oregano
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ½ tsp brown sugar
- 1 lb chicken tenderloins
Instructions
Cooking
- Preheat the air fryer to 390 degrees F.
- In a large bowl, stir together the olive oil, salt, pepper, garlic powder, oregano, smoked paprika, and brown sugar.
- Add the chicken tenderloins and toss until evenly coated.
- Place the tenderloins in the basket in a single layer. Cook for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping after about 6 minutes, until a thermometer reads 165 degrees F.
- Remove the chicken right away so it does not overcook, and rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Notes
Nutrition values are an estimate per serving. Chicken is done at 165 degrees F. For a sweeter version, add a spoonful of honey to the oil mixture. Refrigerate leftovers within 2 hours; they keep 3 to 4 days.
