  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 cup honey
  • 2-3 tbsp chili flakes (adjust for heat preference)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken tenders with the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for a crunchy coating.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the coated chicken tenders until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
  3. Prepare the spicy honey glaze by combining honey, chili flakes, and minced garlic in a saucepan and heating until warmed through.
  4. Drizzle the warm spicy honey glaze over the fried chicken tenders and serve hot, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • To reheat, bake in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness.
  • For a healthier option, use an air fryer and cook for 12-15 minutes at 400°F (200°C).
