Why Cook Chicken Tenders In The Air Fryer?

Using an air fryer for this recipe offers several advantages:

• Air fryers require little to no oil, resulting in a lower-fat dish.

• Preheat your air fryer for optimal crispiness.

Alternatives to Hot Honey

If you’re looking to switch things up, consider trying some alternative sauces to enhance your Air Fryer Hot Honey Chicken Tenders. For a sweet and spicy twist, Maple Sriracha offers a delightful combination that adds depth to the dish. If you prefer a zesty, tangy flavour, Lemon Pepper can provide a refreshing contrast.
