Air Fryer Honey Butter Garlic Chicken Tenders
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:
1. Make the Honey Garlic Mixture:
In a bowl, whisk together honey, melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside half of the mixture for drizzling after cooking.
2. Coat the Chicken:
Dip each chicken tender in the honey garlic mixture, then roll in breadcrumbs to fully coat.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer:
Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
4. Arrange and Cook:
Spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place tenders in a single layer (work in batches if needed).
Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and fully cooked.
5. Finish and Serve:
Drizzle the reserved honey garlic sauce over the tenders just before serving for extra flavor.
