Soak the chicken tenders in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
Preheat Air Fryer:
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Prepare Coating:
In a shallow bowl, mix together the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Coat Chicken:
Remove the tenders from the buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Dredge each tender in the flour mixture, pressing gently to coat well.
Air Fry:
Arrange the coated tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Lightly spray with cooking spray. Air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and cooked through.
Make the Sauce:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Stir in honey and soy sauce, cooking for another 1–2 minutes until well combined.
Toss and Serve:
Drizzle the honey garlic butter sauce over the cooked tenders or toss them gently to coat.
