Air Fryer Honey Butter Garlic Chicken Tenders 🍗🍯
Ingredients 🧂
500 g chicken tenders
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 cloves garlic, minced
Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)
Preparation 🧑🍳
In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
In another bowl, beat the egg until well combined.
In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
Dip each chicken tender first in the flour mixture, then into the beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
Preheat your air fryer to 200°C (400°F) for about 5 minutes.
Place the coated chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches) and spray lightly with cooking oil.
Cook for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the tenders are golden brown and cooked through.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine honey, melted butter, and minced garlic. Stir until warmed and well-mixed.
Drizzle the honey butter garlic sauce over the cooked chicken tenders or serve on the side for dipping.
Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley for an added touch of flavor and color.
