Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create Air Fryer Honey Butter Garlic Chicken Tenders:
1. Prepare the Marinade: In a large bowl, combine melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Whisk together until well mixed.
2. Marinate the Chicken: Add the chicken tenders to the bowl and coat them evenly with the marinade. Let them sit for about 10-15 minutes to absorb the flavors.
3. Preheat the Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for about 5 minutes.
4. Arrange the Chicken: Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray. Place the marinated chicken tenders in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
5. Cook the Chicken: Air fry the chicken tenders for 10 minutes. After 5 minutes, flip them over to ensure even cooking.
6. Check for Doneness: After 10 minutes, check if the tenders are golden and cooked through. If necessary, cook for an additional 2-5 minutes.
7. Serve: Once cooked, remove the chicken from the air fryer and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Following these steps will yield perfectly cooked chicken tenders that are both crispy and delicious!
