Ingredients:

For the Chicken Tenders:

  • 1 lb (about 450g) chicken tenders (or chicken breasts cut into strips)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crispiness)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or cooking spray

For the Honey Butter Garlic Sauce:

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter (melted)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 3-4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional, for extra umami)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken Tenders

  1. Set up your dredging station. In one shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In a separate dish, whisk the egg until well beaten. In a third dish, place the breadcrumbs.
  2. Coat the chicken tenders. Dip each chicken tender into the flour mixture, coating it evenly. Then dip it into the egg, and finally, coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.
  3. Preheat the air fryer. Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it preheat for 3-5 minutes.

Step 2: Air Fry the Chicken Tenders

  1. Spray the basket. Lightly spray the air fryer basket with olive oil or cooking spray to prevent the chicken tenders from sticking.
  2. Cook the chicken tenders. Place the breaded chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Make sure they are not overcrowded for even cooking. Air fry for 8-10 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 3: Make the Honey Butter Garlic Sauce

  1. Melt the butter. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, making sure the garlic doesn’t burn.
  2. Add the honey and soy sauce. Stir in the honey and soy sauce (if using). Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 1-2 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together. Taste and adjust the salt as needed.
