These hot honey buffalo chicken tenders are the ultimate game day recipe! They're gluten free, made in an air fryer, so crispy and coated in a hot honey buffalo sauce that will have everyone reaching for seconds. Plus, they're ready in about 30 minutes!
Ingredients
- 1 pound boneless skinless chicken tender strips about 8 tenders
- 2 eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 ¼ cups gluten free breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
Sauce
- ⅓ cup buffalo sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter melted
- 2 tablespoons hot honey
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer to 380 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.
- In a second shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan, paprika and garlic powder. Whisk well to combine.
- Dunk each strip of chicken into the egg mixture then into the breadcrumb mixture. You can repeat this process a few times to create a thicker coating.
- Spray the air fryer basket with oil and place each chicken strip down, keeping a bit of space between each for even cooking.
- Air fry for 12-14 minutes, flipping halfway, until the internal temperature reaches 165 Fahrenheit.
- Meanwhile, add the buffalo sauce, butter and honey to a small pot and melt over low heat. Once the honey and butter have melted, remove from the heat.
- Let the tenders cool for a few minutes on a wire rack, then coat in the sauce. Serve with diced green onion and ranch for dipping. Enjoy!
Notes
You can use dairy or non-dairy milk, parmesan and butter here!
