Honey-Mustard Chicken Tenders Recipe (2024)

I did these in my air fryer with a spray of avocado oil. 14 minutes at 400, flipped and rotated trays halfway through. They turned out perfect. Moist and perfectly crispy. Nothing compares to food that's fried in oil in terms of indulgent yumminess, but this is a fine substitute.

I loved how fast and easy this was - perfect for a weeknight where I didn't really feel like cooking. Will definitely make again!

Very pleasantly surprised by this one. I just made it because it seemed so quick and easy. It’s a keeper and will go in the rotation for busy nights. I only had about a cup and a half of panko but it was enough. I added onion and garlic powder to the panko which worked well. I also made a little honey mustard dipping sauce on the side - 2T honey, 2T Dijon, about a tsp. of apple cider vinegar and T of Greek yogurt.

Very easy and great flavor! I added a little cayenne to the honey mustard.

This was delicious. Very crispy and crunchy. I will definitely make again but will probably cut the recipe in half. It took quite a while to bread the chicken, and serves way more than four. Probably six.

P.s. do toast the panko first. It makes a huge difference. Watch the time though, mine were real toasty after 3 minutes.

for a gluten free substitute I like to use the plantain chips from trader joes and process them to a crumb to replace the panko!

Only use one cup panko for one package chicken

This was so easy to put together at the last minute with a green salad! Great dinner

Topnotch, as written but halved for 2 pp perfection with some gently steamed broccoli 🥦 for a super bowl nite respite. My paramount in Canada did not steam...aarrgh. even 1 tender left over for my breakfast with sweet and sour sauce or the honey mustard, depends on how I feel.

Very simple to make, and very tasty. Three picky eaters, including a 7-yr old, raved about them. I served with spaghetti tossed with Marcella Hazans tomato sauce with butter and onion, and sauteed broccolini. Yum!

So yummy and crunchy. I added paprika to the panko with salt and pepper before I roasted it it. Next time I will leave the chicken in larger pieces.

This was a keeper! For our Tuesday night, it was easy, fast, minimal clean up, and yummy. Toasting the panko in oil makes it crunchy. The honey mix keeps the crumbs on the chicken. We cooked it in convection, which made it crunchier. It could have more flavor, but maybe it depends on your mustard; mine was mild. However, I was the only one who wanted more flavor; it was all gone at the end of the meal.

I tested this recipe out in hopes of making it for Labor Day weekend. I followed the recipe accordingly using chicken tenders and suprisingly, these were really good! I think this may be enjoyed by kids and adults alike - nice balanced flavor. I used tongs to coat the chicken in the panko breadcrumbs rather than using my fingers. The oven temp and time worked - the chicken was crispy and tender. A winner!

Tasty! Bulked out the honey mustard with 3tbsp of full fat Greek yogurt and added some fried onion bits into the panko breadcrumbs. Needed the full 15 minutes and they came out great.

Very nice altho dipping sauce essential.

Made these today for a family gathering. I thought they were delicious, but the true judges (grandchildren ages two to nine) gave it mixed reviews. Next time I will follow other commenters’ recommendations and add lemon zest, onion powder, and garlic powder.

I didn't find this recipe that carefree. Stuck to the recipe but 1/2 qty. Very hot oven that almost gave me a sunburn from all that toasting, stirring, baking, turning, bake some more. Mine turned out a tad salty which was my bad. But all in all, not a recipe i would make again. A lot of hot and messy steps for mediocre results.

Use a fork to bread the tenders! Way faster this time.

I added garlic and onion powders as well as cayenne to the panko. I ran out of panko! And although this is delicious, it made a god-awful mess in the air fryer and my counters. I’m going back to the oven next time.

Simple. Easy. Tasty. Did not toast panko.Cooked in air fryer, no oil at all. Next time I'll add some lemon zest to panko mix.

Great and easy! I used only 1.5 cups of panko for breadcrumbs. I seasoned the panko with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder. I toasted the panko in a non stick frying pan with olive oil, stirring constantly. I find that using a frying pan forces me to keep an eye on the crumbs from getting too brown. I think I would use less honey and more Dijon for the dip since it was a little too sweet for me.

This recipe is exceptionally bland. The ratio of panko to chicken is too high. Not even a sauce could rescue this.
