These crispy chicken tenders get their crunch from a seasoned coating loaded with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and dried oregano, pressed on until every side is evenly covered. A quick spin in the air fryer turns that coating deep golden and shatteringly crisp while the chicken stays juicy underneath, with no vat of oil required. Tossing them in batches keeps the basket from crowding, so each tender cooks up evenly with a thermometer to confirm they're perfectly done. A squeeze of lemon and your favorite dipping sauce finish things off nicely. It's a satisfying, kid-friendly dinner that fits neatly into a gluten free lineup, and it comes together fast enough for a busy weeknight.
