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.
