Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb chicken tenders
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup hot sauce (like Frank’s RedHot)
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon chopped green onions (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a bowl, mix flour, salt, and pepper. Dredge the chicken tenders in the flour mixture until well coated.
- Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the chicken tenders until golden brown and crispy on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- In another bowl, combine honey, hot sauce, soy sauce, and garlic powder to create the sticky glaze.
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and place them in a baking dish. Pour the sauce over the chicken tenders, coating them well.
- Bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is bubbly.
- Garnish with chopped green onions before serving. Enjoy!
Notes
Ensure the oil is hot enough for a crispier texture. Adjust hot sauce to taste.
