Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter Melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Method
 

Preparation and Cooking
  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the honey and minced garlic until well combined.
  2. Season the chicken tenders with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder for a flavor punch.
  3. Generously brush the honey butter mixture over the chicken tenders to coat them evenly.
  4. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
  5. Once heated, place the tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they are crispy and fully cooked.
  6. Serve with any remaining honey butter sauce on the side for dipping.

Notes

For enhanced flavor, let the chicken tenders marinate in the honey butter mixture for at least an hour. Use an air fryer for reheating leftovers to preserve crispiness.
