Description
A family favorite dish featuring crispy chicken tenders coated in a mouthwatering honey garlic glaze, cooked to perfection in an air fryer.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenders
- ¼ cup honey
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Whisk together honey, melted butter, garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Reserve half of the mixture to drizzle over the tenders later.
- Dip each chicken tender into the honey garlic mixture, then coat with breadcrumbs.
- Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and spray the basket with cooking spray.
- Arrange the coated chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- Drizzle the reserved honey garlic sauce over the cooked tenders before serving.
Notes
For extra crunch, try using panko breadcrumbs instead of regular ones. Adjust cooking time as needed to ensure crispiness without burning.
