Crispy Air fryer Chicken Tenders coated with BBQ Sauce and crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos are super-crispy and so damn tasty. You wouldn't want to share this with anyone. Takes just 10-minutes in the Air fryer and goes so well with side salads.

INSTRUCTIONS
Pat dry chicken tenders. Coat them with seasoning - onion powder, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, kosher salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Make sure you coat both sides of chicken tenders evenly.
Brush BBQ sauce & Vinegar on chicken tenders. Make sure you coat both sides of Chicken tenders with BBQ Sauce and Vinegar.
Dredge Chicken tenders through crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos. Coat both sides evenly.
Place them into the Air Fryer basket. If you want you can line your Air Fryer basket with Parchment paper. It will help you clean up. Air Fry at 400 degrees F or 200 degrees C for 7-8 minutes. After 8-minutes flip over and brush some more oil. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until Chicken tenders reach an Internal temperature of 165°F. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve right away with any dipping sauce that you like.

Notes
Every Air Fryer works differently. It took me 8+3 = 11 minutes to cook my chicken. Your timing might vary. So, try one batch and then follow with the rest.
Instead of Crushed Nacho Cheese Doritos, you can use BBQ Potato Chips (crushed)
Although you can refrigerate these crispy Chicken Tenders in an Air Tight Container for up to 3-days. But, I certainly don't recommend it. What happens is, that the cold air of the refrigerator kills the crispiness of the chicken. And, no matter how much you try, you cannot get them back to crispy again.
