    Ingredients

    Scale
    • 1 lb chicken tenders
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • 1/2 teaspoon salt
    • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
    • 1 egg, beaten
    • 1 cup breadcrumbs
    • 1/4 cup honey
    • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
    • 2 cloves garlic, minced
    • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

    Instructions

    1. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels and set aside.
    2. Make Coating: In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the egg. In a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.
    3. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken tender into the flour mixture, then into the beaten egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs. Ensure they are well-covered.
    4. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
    5. Air Fry Chicken: Place the coated chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
    6. Make Honey Butter Garlic Sauce: While the chicken is cooking, combine the melted butter, honey, and minced garlic in a bowl. Stir until well mixed.
    7. Coat Chicken: Once the chicken tenders are done, transfer them to a large bowl and drizzle the honey butter garlic sauce over them. Toss to coat evenly.
    8. Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and enjoy your delicious Air Fryer Honey Butter Garlic Chicken Tenders! ❤️🍽️
