Air Fryer Honey Butter Garlic Chicken Tenders
## Instructions
ADVERTISEMENT
### 1. Prepare the chicken
Pat the chicken tenders dry. In a shallow bowl, mix the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a third bowl.
### 2. Bread the tenders
Dip each chicken tender first in the flour mixture, then the beaten eggs, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Press gently to ensure the breadcrumbs stick well.
### 3. Air fry the chicken
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the breaded tenders in a single layer (don’t overcrowd) and cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
### 4. Make the honey butter garlic sauce
While the chicken cooks, melt butter in a small pan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute). Stir in honey and cook for another minute to combine flavors.
### 5. Toss & serve
