Steps:
- With paper towels, pat the chicken tenders dry. Sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt.
- In a shallow bowl (a pie dish works well) beat the eggs together. In a second shallow bowl, stir together the panko, breadcrumbs, paprika, garlic powder, pepper, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons salt. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and keep it nearby.
- Coat the chicken tenders: Working a few at a time, dip each piece of chicken into the egg, then into the breadcrumb mixture, patting it gently as needed to adhere. Shake off excess.
- Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with remaining pieces.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400 degrees F. If you'd like to keep the chicken warm between batches, turn a regular oven to 250 degrees F. Coat the air fryer basket with the olive oil spray, then add chicken tenders in a single layer so that they are not touching (I can cook 4 at a time). Coat the top of the chicken tenders with oil spray.
- Cook the chicken for 7 to 8 minutes, pulling out the air fryer basket and flipping the pieces over once halfway through. (The chicken should register at least 165 degrees F on an instant read thermometer and the outsides will be golden brown and crisp.) Repeat with remaining chicken tenders, keeping them warm in the oven between batches as desired. Enjoy hot.

Tips:
- Use fresh, boneless, skinless chicken breasts for the best results. Thaw frozen chicken breasts completely before cooking.
- Make sure the chicken fingers are evenly coated in the flour mixture before frying. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Fry the chicken fingers in hot oil until they are golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
- Serve the chicken fingers immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include honey mustard, ranch dressing, or barbecue sauce.
- To make the chicken fingers ahead of time, cook them according to the recipe and then let them cool completely. Store the chicken fingers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to serve, reheat them in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-12 minutes, or until heated through.
