Instructions

  1. Make the Honey Garlic Mixture: In a small bowl whisk together honey, melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Set aside half of the mixture to use as a drizzle.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken tender into the honey garlic mixture ensuring an even coating. Roll the tenders in breadcrumbs to create a crispy layer.
  3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for best results.
  4. Arrange and Cook: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Arrange the chicken tenders in a single layer and air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Finish and Serve: Drizzle the reserved honey garlic sauce over the tenders and serve immediately.

Notes

  1. Always preheat the air fryer for best results and do not overcrowd the basket.
