Baste

Lay the tenders out on a tray or plate and brush with BBQ sauce all over.
Coat
4
Crush up the potato chips and place in a shallow bowl. In batches, coat the tenders in the crumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Prepare Your Air Fryer
5
Preheat your air fryer to 400 degrees F. Spray the basket with cooking spray and place as many tenders that will comfortably fit without touching.
Air Fry
6
Spray the tops of the chicken with cooking spray. Air fry for 8-9 minutes, carefully flipping once, until an internal temperature of 165 degrees F is reached. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Important!
Air fryers are all similar, but just like ovens, cooking times can vary. I would suggest doing a test run with just a couple tenders and then adjust the time/temp, if necessary.
