Delicious and flavorful Spicy Honey Butter Garlic Chicken Tenders recipe that is perfect for a quick and tasty meal. Tender chicken strips coated in a spicy honey garlic butter glaze, served with a drizzle of extra sauce.

Ingredients

For the Chicken Tenders:

  • 1 lb chicken tenders
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (for cooking)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (optional, for a light crust)

For the Spicy Honey Garlic Butter Glaze:

  • ¼ cup honey
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½–1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your heat preference)
  • Pinch of salt

Instructions

  1. Season the Chicken: In a large bowl, toss the chicken tenders with garlic powder, paprika, chili powder, black pepper, salt, and flour (if using).
  2. Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook seasoned chicken tenders for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Make the Spicy Honey Garlic Glaze: In the same skillet, melt butter, add minced garlic, sauté, then stir in honey, red pepper flakes, and salt. Let sauce bubble for 1–2 minutes until slightly thickened.
  4. Coat the Chicken: Toss the cooked chicken tenders in the glaze until well coated. Spoon extra glaze over the top and let rest off the heat for 1–2 minutes.
  5. Serve: Serve warm with extra sauce drizzled over the top. Enjoy with rice, veggies, or on their own!
