- Prep your breading station

Notes
Depending on your air fryer settings it's recommended to flip the tenders about 8-10 minutes in to get an even cook. You can spray them with an oil of your choice (I used Avocado oil) to help avoid burning the coconut flakes. 0.25= 1/4 0.333 = 1/3 0.5= 1/2 0.125 = 1/8
