Description

Deliciously crispy chicken tenders coated with a sweet and spicy hot honey glaze.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • Cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Mix flour with garlic powder, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper in a bowl.
  3. Beat the eggs in a second bowl.
  4. Place breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
  5. Dip each chicken tender first into the flour mixture, then into the egg, and finally coat with breadcrumbs.
  6. Place the coated tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray lightly with cooking spray.
  7. Air fry for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through until the tenders are golden and crispy.
  8. Heat honey in a small pan over low heat while the chicken is cooking.
  9. Drizzle hot honey over the cooked tenders before serving.

Notes

For best results, do not overcrowd the air fryer. Ensure chicken tenders are patted dry for better coating adhesion.
