Description
Spicy Honey Butter Garlic Chicken Tenders are a delicious and easy-to-make dish. These tenders are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, coated in a sweet and spicy honey butter garlic sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken tenders
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup honey
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, pepper, and paprika.
- In another shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk.
- In a third shallow dish, place panko breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken tender first in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with panko breadcrumbs. Place coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.
- While the chicken is baking, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir in honey and cook for another minute. Remove from heat.
- Once the chicken is cooked, toss the tenders in the honey butter garlic sauce.
- Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispy tenders, you can double-coat them in the breadcrumbs.
- Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spice level.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
