Deliciously crispy Air Fryer Honey Butter Garlic Chicken Tenders coated in a savory and sweet honey garlic sauce, perfect for a quick weeknight dinner.

  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 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. In a bowl, mix together honey, melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Add chicken tenders to the bowl and coat them evenly with the honey garlic mixture.
  3. On a separate plate, spread the breadcrumbs. Dredge each chicken tender in the breadcrumbs and ensure they are fully coated.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and spray the basket with cooking spray.
  5. Place the breaded chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
  6. Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
  7. Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crunch, you can double bread the chicken tenders by dipping them back in the honey mixture and then in the breadcrumbs again.
