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