Description
Tender chicken bathed in a sweet and savory garlic butter sauce, perfect for a cozy fall dinner.
Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenders
- 1/4 cup honey
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3-4 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: Fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken tenders with salt and pepper on both sides.
- Make the honey butter sauce: In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Once melted, stir in the minced garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant. Add in the honey and combine well. Remove from heat and set aside.
- Air fry the tenders: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the seasoned chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Brush them generously with the honey butter garlic sauce.
- Cook to perfection: Air fry the tenders for 10-12 minutes until golden brown and cooked through, flipping halfway. Brush with additional honey butter sauce during the last few minutes of cooking for extra flavor.
- Serve and enjoy: Once done, remove the tenders from the air fryer and serve them hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Notes
Don’t overcrowd the basket for proper air circulation. Use fresh garlic for richer flavor.
