Learn how to make delicious Spicy Honey Garlic Chicken Tenders. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.
Total Time:45 minutes
Yield:4 servings
Ingredients
1 lb chicken tenders
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 cup honey
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
Red pepper flakes, optional for extra heat
Instructions
Begin by patting the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. This helps to ensure a crispy coating.
In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and chili powder. This mixture will form the flavorful coating for your chicken.
Dredge each chicken tender in the flour mixture, ensuring each piece is coated evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. My grandmother always taught me that the sizzle of the pan is the key indicator that it’s ready for the chicken.
Add the chicken tenders to the skillet and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant.
Stir in the honey, soy sauce, and apple cider vinegar, bringing the mixture to a simmer. Allow it to cook for about 3 minutes, until slightly thickened.
Return the chicken tenders to the skillet, tossing them in the sauce until well coated. Let them simmer for an additional 2 minutes to absorb the flavors.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and, if desired, a sprinkle of red pepper flakes for an extra kick.
