# How to Make It:

In a bowl, combine honey, melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until homogeneous.

Add chicken tenders to the sauce mixture and toss to ensure each piece is evenly coated.

Spread breadcrumbs on a separate plate. Dredge each coated tender in the breadcrumbs, ensuring full coverage.

Set the air fryer temperature to 380°F, and lightly spray the basket with cooking spray to prevent sticking.

Remove tenders from the air fryer and allow them to rest for a few minutes before serving.
# Extra Tips:

For enhanced crispiness, double bread the tenders by dipping them again in the honey garlic mixture followed by an additional breadcrumb coating.
