Place your chicken into the air fryer basket and set the temperature to 370 degrees F, air fryer setting, and cook for 7 to 10 minutes. Check your chicken’s internal temperature before removing them from the air fryer. Use a meat thermometer and check the internal temperature should be 165 degrees F.

For even more flavor, add lime slices on top, and roast them on top of the chicken for the last 2 to 3 minutes.

Can I Use Chicken Thighs?

This is a great and versatile recipe that you can use in any chicken cut. Including chicken thighs, boneless skinless chicken breast, or even bone-in chicken. The cooking time will need to be adjusted for thicker chicken pieces.

Remember to use your meat thermometer and check the thickest part of the chicken, which should be 165 degrees F, before removing it from the air fryer.

How To Store:

If you have any letter over chicken tenders, let them cool to room temperature and then place them into an airtight container. They will last for about 3 to 4 days. You can reheat them in the air fryer or the microwave. Heat until warmed through.

How To Freeze:

This is a great freezer meal, and I love these. You can easily prepare these ahead of time and place them in the freezer. Prepare the marinade, place the chicken, then freeze until ready to use. Use a freezer bag or a freezer-safe container. You can defrost overnight in the refrigerator. They will last for about 1 to 2 months.
