Deep-fry in a skillet. Add vegetable oil to a skillet. Wait for the oil to reach 180°C / 350°F. Add the chicken tenders (but don't overcrowd the pan) and fry for 2 - 3 minutes.
Bake them in the oven. Place the baking sheet with the chicken into the preheated oven. Bake for 14 - 16 minutes in a fan-assisted oven to 210 °C / 410 °F or in the conventional oven to 230 °C / 445 °F.
Use an air fryer. If you plan on using an air fryer, bake the chicken tender for 10 minutes at 180 °C / 350 °F or until the chicken is golden outside and has an internal temperature of 64°C / 148 °F.
