  • Total Time: 32 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1/3 cup honey
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp chopped parsley

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken tenders dry to help the seasoning adhere better.
  2. In a bowl, combine chicken with olive oil, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Use your hands to coat the chicken evenly.
  3. Preheat the air fryer to 375°F and arrange chicken tenders in a single layer in the basket, ensuring space between each piece. Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through until golden and fully cooked.
  4. While the chicken is cooking, melt the butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Stir in honey, minced garlic, and soy sauce, letting it bubble lightly.
  5. Let the sauce simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Once the chicken is cooked, transfer it to a bowl and drizzle the warm glaze over it. Toss gently to coat the tenders evenly with the sauce.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
