Ingredients

Main ingredients

1 pound chicken tenderloins
2 teaspoons honey
4 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon garlic minced
0.25 teaspoon salt
0.5 teaspoon pepper
2 eggs beaten
2 cups Panko breadcrumbs

Instructions

Preheat air fryer to 400°F.
In a bowl, mix honey, soy sauce, and garlic together.
Season chicken with salt and pepper, then marinate in the sauce for 10 minutes.
Beat eggs in a shallow bowl; pour Panko into another.
Dip chicken into eggs, then coat in Panko breadcrumbs evenly.
Place breaded chicken in air fryer basket in a single layer.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and internal temp reaches 165°F.
Remove and drizzle remaining honey garlic sauce over chicken before serving.

Notes

Make sure the chicken tenders are nicely coated in the breadcrumb mixture. Double coat for extra crunch. You can freeze these after coating and cook straight from frozen. Flip halfway for even crispness. Try fun coatings like crushed cornflakes or Doritos!
