Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (180°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine the chicken, 2 teaspoons smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, ranch seasoning and buttermilk. Toss to coat and marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  3. In another bowl, mix the flour, salt, black pepper, onion powder, the remaining 2 teaspoons smoked paprika and 1 teaspoon garlic powder.
  4. Working in batches, lift the chicken from the buttermilk, coat it in the seasoned flour and shake off excess. For extra-crispy tenders, dip them back in buttermilk and coat in flour a second time.
  5. Arrange the tenders in the air fryer basket without overcrowding. Spray them evenly with cooking spray.
  6. Air fry for 15 minutes, until golden and crispy and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  7. Lightly dust with ranch seasoning before serving.
