In a medium bowl, whisk together the buttermilk and half the salt. Add the chicken strips and toss to coat. Let the chicken marinate for 15 minutes.
While the chicken marinates, preheat the air fryer to 400°F for 5 minutes. In a shallow dish, stir together the panko, garlic powder, smoked paprika, black pepper, and the remaining salt.
Lightly coat the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Remove each chicken strip from the buttermilk, letting the excess drip off, then press firmly into the panko mixture until fully coated on all sides. Arrange the chicken in a single layer in the basket and spray the tops with cooking spray. Air fry for 6 minutes, flip the tenders, and air fry for 6 minutes more. Done when deep golden and opaque in the center, 165°F.
Transfer the chicken tenders to a plate and let them rest for 2 minutes to allow the crust to set.
