Hot honey chicken tenders are a delightful fusion of crispy chicken and a sweet, spicy sauce that creates an irresistible flavor combination.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound of chicken tenders
  • 1 cup of buttermilk
  • 1 cup of all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon of garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon of onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon of paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • 1/2 cup of honey
  • 1–2 tablespoons of hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot or Sriracha)

Instructions

  1. Marinate the chicken tenders in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the breading by mixing flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  4. Fry the marinated chicken tenders until golden brown, about 4-5 minutes on each side.
  5. Make the hot honey sauce by combining honey and hot sauce in a saucepan over low heat.
  6. Drizzle the hot honey sauce over the fried chicken tenders and serve.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add salt and pepper to the buttermilk when marinating.
  • Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
  • Let the chicken rest on paper towels after frying to absorb excess oil.
  • Adjust the hot sauce in the honey sauce to your spice preference.
