Ingredients
1 lb chicken tenders (2 chicken breasts cut into strips)
2 cups corn flakes
1 tbsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
3 eggs
1/2 tsp salt

Honey Garlic Sauce
5 tbsp salted butter
2 tbsp minced garlic
3 tbsp honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
Instructions
Prepare the Chicken Tenders:
- Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).
- In a shallow dish, crush the corn flakes to create a coating for the chicken tenders.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
- Roll the coated chicken tender in the crushed corn flakes, pressing gently to adhere the flakes to the chicken.
Air Fry the Chicken Tenders:
- Place the coated chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer, leaving space between each.
- Cook in the preheated air fryer for about 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Prepare the Honey Garlic Sauce:
- While the chicken is cooking, make the honey garlic sauce.
- In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt butter.
- Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Stir in honey and soy sauce, continuing to cook until the sauce thickens slightly.
Coat the Chicken Tenders:
- Once the chicken tenders are cooked, transfer them to the honey garlic saucepan.
- Gently toss the chicken tenders in the sauce until they are well coated.
Serve:
- Serve the Honey Garlic Chicken Tenders hot, garnished with chopped green onions or sesame seeds if desired.
