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
- Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels and set aside.
- 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.
- 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.
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
- 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).
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve: Garnish with chopped parsley if desired and enjoy your delicious Air Fryer Honey Butter Garlic Chicken Tenders! ❤️🍽️
