Ingredients

500 g chicken tenders
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
0.5 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp salt
2 egg
4 tbsp plain flour
2.5 cup cornflakes (2-3 cups)
1 tbsp butter
2 garlic (cloves)
4 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
4 tbsp honey
1 tsp crushed chilli
0.5 tsp salt
0.5 tsp crushed black pepper
3 tbsp water
0.25 tsp cornstarch (for slurry)
3 tbsp water (for slurry)

Steps

1
In a large bowl, season the chicken tenders with garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt.
2
Add the eggs and plain flour to the seasoned chicken and mix well until every piece is thoroughly coated.
3
Crush the cornflakes into coarse crumbs and place them in a shallow dish.
4
Dredge each chicken tender in the crushed cornflakes, pressing firmly so the crumbs adhere to the surface.
5
Cook the chicken tenders in an air fryer or deep fry until they are golden brown and crispy (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
6
To make the sauce, melt the butter in a pan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
7
Stir in the lemon juice, lemon zest, honey, crushed chilli, salt, crushed black pepper, and 3 tablespoons of water.
8
Prepare the cornstarch slurry by mixing 1/4 teaspoon cornstarch with 3 tablespoons water, then pour it into the sauce.
9
Simmer the sauce until it thickens slightly into a glossy glaze.
10
Toss the crispy chicken tenders in the lemon pepper sauce until evenly coated and serve immediately.

Notes

The cornflakes provide a superior crunch compared to breadcrumbs. For the best results in an air fryer, lightly spray the coated chicken with oil before cooking.
