👩‍🍳 Step-by-Step Instructions:

1️⃣ Preheat the Air Fryer

Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and let it heat up for 3-5 minutes.

In a bowl, mix melted butter, honey, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.

  • Dip each chicken tender into the honey garlic butter mixture, ensuring full coverage.

  • Roll in breadcrumbs (or panko) until evenly coated.

4️⃣ Air Fry to Perfection
