Creating Irresistible Air Fryer Honey Butter Garlic Chicken Tenders is simple. Follow these steps to achieve tender, flavorful chicken:

1. Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels to ensure they crisp up nicely.

3. Make Honey Butter Garlic Sauce: In a small bowl, combine melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, paprika, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until well combined.

4. Coat Chicken Tenders: Dip each chicken tender into the honey butter garlic sauce, ensuring it is evenly coated.

5. Prepare Panko Breadcrumbs: Place the panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Dredge each coated chicken tender in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.

6. Arrange in Air Fryer: Place the chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Avoid overcrowding for even cooking.

7. Cook: Air fry the chicken tenders for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Cook until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

8. Glaze After Cooking: Once cooked, drizzle any remaining honey butter garlic sauce over the tenders for an extra flavor boost.

9. Garnish: If desired, sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the tenders for added color and flavor.

10. Serve Immediately: Enjoy your delicious chicken tenders while they are hot and crispy.
