Ingredients
Scale

- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1/2 cup hot sauce
- 1/4 cup honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions
- In a bowl, mix the cornstarch, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Coat each chicken tender in the cornstarch mixture.

Notes
For extra crunch, double coat the chicken tenders by dipping them in the cornstarch mixture twice before frying. Adjust the heat level by using a milder or spicier hot sauce based on your preference. To bake, coat and bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-20 minutes, turning once.
