Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by patting the chicken tenderloins dry with paper towels to remove moisture.
- Create a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and the third with a mixture of panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
- Dredge a chicken tenderloin in the flour, shaking off excess.
- Dip the floured tenderloin into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
- Transfer to the panko mixture, pressing down gently to ensure an even coating.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray and arrange the breaded tenderloins in a single layer.
- Cook for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and internal temperature is 165°F (74°C).
- Check for doneness and add 1-2 more minutes if necessary.
- Allow the cooked tenderloins to rest for a few moments before serving.
- Serve hot, perhaps with roasted vegetables or sweet potato fries.

Notes
Ensure that the chicken tenderloins are well-coated for the perfect crispy texture. Cook in a single layer for even cooking, and monitor the last few minutes to prevent overcooking.
