Description

Crispy, juicy, and bursting with flavor – that’s the best way to describe these Crispy Honey Lemon Chicken Tenders. With a perfectly crunchy coating and a sweet and tangy honey lemon glaze, this dish is sure to be a hit with the whole family.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions

1. Start by mixing the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, beat the egg, and in a third bowl, place the breadcrumbs.

2. Dredge each chicken tender in the flour mixture, making sure to coat all sides. Next, dip the floured chicken tenders into the beaten egg, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the tenders in the breadcrumbs, pressing gently to help the crumbs adhere.

3. In a skillet over medium heat, heat the olive oil and butter. Once the oil is shimmering, add the breaded chicken tenders and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Be sure to work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan.

4. While the chicken tenders are cooking, whisk together the honey and lemon juice in a small bowl to create the delectable honey lemon glaze. This sweet and tangy sauce is the perfect complement to the crispy chicken.

5. Once the chicken tenders are cooked, drizzle the honey lemon glaze over the top, ensuring each tender is evenly coated. Serve these Crispy Honey Lemon Chicken Tenders immediately, while they’re hot and crispy.

Notes

For a complete meal, consider serving the Crispy Honey Lemon Chicken Tenders with a side of coleslaw, roasted vegetables, or a simple salad. The sweet and tangy flavors pair beautifully with a variety of sides. Don’t forget to offer up some extra honey lemon glaze for dipping!
