Assemble all necessary ingredients to prepare the dish efficiently.
Preheat your air fryer to 350°F (175°C) to ensure even cooking.
In a small bowl, beat the egg until thoroughly mixed, forming a smooth coating base.
Combine the bread crumbs and vegetable oil in another bowl, mixing until the texture is crumbly and loose.
Dip each chicken tenderloin into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Coat the tenderloin thoroughly with the crumb mixture, ensuring it is evenly covered on all sides.
Place the coated tenderloins in a single layer within the air fryer basket, avoiding overlap to ensure optimal crispness.
Cook the tenderloins in the preheated air fryer for approximately 12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C), as confirmed by an instant-read thermometer.
Serve immediately while hot, and enjoy the crispy, tender results.
