Ingredients:
- 1 pound chicken tenders
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 2 tablespoons hot sauce
- 2 cups crushed jalapeño chips (about 1 small bag)
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions:
1. Start by preparing the chicken tenders.
2. In a shallow dish, combine garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices.
3. In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs and mix in the hot sauce until well combined.
4. Crush the jalapeño chips using a rolling pin or food processor until they are finely crushed. Place them in a third shallow dish.
5. Preheat your air fryer to 350F
6. Dip the chicken tender into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated.
7. Finally, dip the chicken tender into the crushed jalapeño chips, pressing them firmly onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
9. Place the breaded chicken tenders in your air fryer and set the timer to about 12 minutes.
10. While the chicken tenders are frying, prepare the hot honey sauce. In a small saucepan, mix together the honey and hot sauce. Heat over low heat until the honey is warmed through and the sauce is smooth.
11. Once the chicken tenders are cooked, use a slotted spoon to remove them from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain off any excess oil.
12. Serve the hot honey crispy chicken tenders immediately with the hot honey sauce for dipping. Enjoy!
