# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Let the tenders chill out for a couple minutes out of the air fryer. Enjoy them with your go-to dip or a crisp salad.
02 -
Set the coated tenders in the basket with a bit of room between each. Air fry at 400°F (200°C) for about 10 to 12 minutes. Flip them over halfway through so both sides get crispy and browned.
03 -
Give the air fryer basket a quick mist with cooking spray so nothing sticks.
04 -
Dip the chicken tenders in the honey butter garlic mix so they’re completely covered, then press them into breadcrumbs until they’re coated all over.
05 -
Pour breadcrumbs into a shallow dish to get ready for coating your chicken.
06 -
Stir melted butter, honey, garlic, salt, and pepper together in a little bowl. Mix until everything’s blended.
07 -
Get your air fryer hot by preheating it to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes. This helps things cook evenly.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Craving a little spice? Toss some cayenne pepper into the honey butter garlic mix.
02 -
Don’t have tenders? Chicken breasts cut into strips work just as well.
03 -
These are awesome with ranch, barbecue, or honey mustard for dipping.
