Honey Butter Melt-in-Your-Mouth Chicken Tenders 🍯🍗✨

Golden, crispy chicken tenders coated in a sweet honey butter glaze—comfort food with a crunchy twist.

Ingredients

• 1 ½ lbs chicken tenders
• ½ cup honey
• ¼ cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tbsp Dijon mustard (optional)
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• ½ tsp paprika
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (or crushed cornflakes)
• Cooking spray or a little oil for greasing

Directions

1. Preheat oven: Set oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease or line a baking sheet with parchment.
2. Make honey butter mix: Whisk melted butter, honey, mustard (if using), garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
3. Coat chicken: Dip each tender into honey butter mixture, then roll in breadcrumbs until coated.
4. Bake: Arrange on baking sheet. Spray lightly with cooking spray. Bake 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
5. Serve: Drizzle with extra honey if desired. Pair with dipping sauce.

Tips

• Extra crunch: Use crushed cornflakes instead of breadcrumbs.
• Flavor boost: Add cayenne pepper or chili flakes for a spicy kick.
• Serving idea: Pair with ranch, honey mustard, or BBQ sauce.
