Can You Cook Tenderloins In The Air Fryer?
Not only can you cook tenderloins in the air fryer, but you should! It’s incredibly fast, makes for easy cleanup, and you don’t have to worry about preheating an oven or cooking in the elements. Many people avoid cooking white meat in the air fryer because they’re afraid it will dry them out. But, have no fear! If you take the time to marinate your chicken breast or tenderloins before you cook them in the air fryer, they will be just as juicy as if you were to grill or bake them.
Can You Put Raw Chicken In The Air Fryer?

Want to make cleanup even easier? You can make air fried chicken tenderloins in any heat-safe dish that easily fits inside your air fryer basket. Just toss the dish in the dishwasher when you’re finished and you’re done!
