Ingredients
  

  • Leftover chicken tenders

Instructions
 

  • Pull out the leftover chicken tenders from the fridge or freezer and let them reach room temperature. (In a pinch, you can air fry cold chicken tenders, but reduce the temp to 350 and add 1 - 2 minutes to each side while cooking.)
  • Preheat the air fryer at 375°F. 
  • Place the chicken tenders in the air fryer basket and ensure that none of the pieces are piling on top of each other.
  • Let the chicken heat up for about three to five minutes. Using tongs, turn the tenders.
  • Restart air fryer and heat for another two minutes. 
  • Use tongs to remove reheated chicken strips from the air fryer to a plate.

Pro Tip: We don’t advise reheating cooked chicken tenders that have already been reheated then cooled down. Only reheat chicken tenders once, so they stay crisp, moist, and yummy.
