These healthier high-protein hot honey chicken tenders are the ultimate guilt-free comfort food. Lean chicken tenderloins are coated in a light breading of crushed corn flakes and flour, seasoned simply with garlic and onion powder, then air-fried or oven-baked to crispy perfection. Drizzle with a homemade hot honey sauce for the perfect sweet and spicy kick. With a total of 127g of protein for the whole batch and under 800 calories (without sauce), these tenders are ideal for meal preppers and clean eaters alike. They’re delicious dipped in high-protein ranch or served with a side of roasted veggies.
