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
- Marinate the chicken tenders with the flour, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper for a crunchy coating.
- Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan and fry the coated chicken tenders until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Prepare the spicy honey glaze by combining honey, chili flakes, and minced garlic in a saucepan and heating until warmed through.
- 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).
