Begin by setting up your breading station. In a shallow dish, combine all-purpose flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika for a flavorful coating.

In another bowl, crack and lightly whisk the eggs.

Pat chicken tenders dry with paper towels to remove moisture.

Dip each chicken tender into the flour mixture, then into the whisked egg, and back into the flour for a second coating.

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes. Spray the basket with cooking spray.

Arrange chicken tenders in a single layer, leaving space between each piece. Lightly spritz the tops with cooking spray.

Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 5-6 minutes, flip, and cook for another 5-6 minutes until golden brown and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (73°C).

Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, sprinkle with extra salt if desired, and serve warm.
