* ½ teaspoon paprika

* ½ teaspoon garlic powder

* 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

* 3 tablespoons honey

* 2 cloves garlic, minced

* Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

**Instructions:**

1. **Prepare Chicken :** If using chicken breasts, cut them into strips.

2. **Prepare Breading Station :** Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.

3. **Bread Chicken :** Dip each chicken tender in flour, then in egg, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.

4. **Air Fry Chicken :** Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Place the breaded chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they don't overlap. Cook for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and cooked through.

5. **Make Honey Butter Garlic Sauce :** While the chicken is cooking, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in honey and cook for another minute until slightly thickened.

6. **Coat Chicken :** Once the chicken tenders are cooked, toss them in the honey butter garlic sauce until evenly coated.

7. **Garnish & Serve :** Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
