Description

This Garlic Chicken Tenders recipe features crispy, air-fried chicken coated in a flavorful cornflake crust and glazed with a sweet and savory honey garlic sauce. Perfect for a quick and delicious meal, this dish combines simple ingredients with an easy air frying method to deliver tender, juicy chicken with a crunchy exterior and a mouthwatering glaze.

Ingredients

Chicken and Coating

  • 1 Chicken Breast (boneless, skinless)
  • Pinch of Salt
  • Pinch of Pepper
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • 2 Eggs
  • 2 cups Corn Flakes (crushed)

Honey Garlic Glaze

  • 2 tbsp Honey
  • 4 tsp Soy Sauce
  • 1 tsp Garlic (minced)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Slice the chicken breast into cutlets or tenders. Season each piece evenly with a pinch of salt, pepper, and paprika, rubbing the spices on all sides for full flavor.
  2. Prepare Coatings: Crack the two eggs into a small bowl to create an egg wash. In a separate medium bowl, crush the corn flakes until they reach a coarse, breadcrumb-like consistency.
  3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each seasoned chicken tender into the egg wash to thoroughly coat it, then roll it in the crushed corn flakes, ensuring an even and thorough coating on all sides.
  4. Air Fry the Tenders: Place the coated chicken tenders into the air fryer basket, making sure to leave enough space between each piece for even cooking. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for 12 minutes or until the tenders are golden brown and cooked through.
  5. Make the Honey Garlic Glaze: While the chicken cooks, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, and minced garlic in a small bowl until combined to create a flavorful glaze.
  6. Glaze and Serve: Once the chicken tenders are cooked, remove them from the air fryer and immediately toss them in the honey garlic glaze to coat. Serve the tenders warm for the best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For crispier tenders, you can add a light spray of cooking oil before air frying.
  • Make sure not to overcrowd the air fryer basket to ensure even cooking and crispiness.
  • This recipe can be doubled or tripled for more servings, adjusting cooking time if needed.
  • Use gluten-free corn flakes to make this recipe gluten-free.
  • Check the chicken’s internal temperature; it should reach 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
