450 g chicken tenders

Cooking spray
→ Honey Butter Garlic Sauce
04 -
60 ml honey

28 g unsalted butter, melted

# How to Make It:
01 -
In a mixing bowl, whisk together honey, melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until thoroughly blended. Reserve half of the mixture for glazing after cooking.
02 -
Dip each chicken tender into the honey butter garlic mixture, coating completely. Roll each piece in breadcrumbs, pressing lightly for an even crust.
03 -
Preheat the air fryer to 200°C for 2 to 3 minutes to ensure even cooking and a crisp exterior.
04 -
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking. Place the coated chicken tenders in a single layer, ensuring none are touching.
05 -
Air fry the chicken tenders at 200°C for 10 to 12 minutes, flipping halfway through cooking. The coating should be golden brown and crisp, and the internal temperature should reach 74°C.
06 -
Transfer the cooked chicken tenders to a serving plate and drizzle with the reserved honey butter garlic sauce. Serve immediately while hot.
# Additional Tips:

For maximum crispiness, avoid overcrowding the air fryer basket and work in batches if necessary.
