Instructions
1
Preheat air fryer to 400°F (200°C).

Set up a dredging station with one bowl of flour (seasoned with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper), one bowl with a beaten egg, and one bowl with crushed cornflakes.
3
Coat each chicken tender first in the flour, then the egg, and finally in the cornflakes.
4
Place the coated tenders in the air fryer basket and cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until crispy and cooked through.
5
While the chicken cooks, mix together Greek yogurt, light mayo, sweet chili sauce, sriracha, and honey in a small bowl to make the bang bang sauce.
6
Serve the tenders hot with a generous drizzle of bang bang sauce or on the side for dipping.

Tips & Tricks (5)
- Dry Brine Your Chicken 🧂Pat chicken tenders completely dry and season with salt and garlic powder 15-30 minutes before breading to enhance moisture retention and create a more flavorful, tender interior.
- Double Dredge for Maximum Crunch 🥒After dipping in egg, coat in your flour mixture, then dip in egg again and coat with cornflakes for an ultra-crispy, golden exterior that stays crunchy even after the sauce is applied.
- Chill Breaded Tenders Before Air Frying ❄️Refrigerate breaded tenders for at least 15 minutes before air frying to help the coating adhere better and prevent it from falling off during cooking, ensuring maximum crispness.
- Balance Your Bang Bang Sauce 🔥Taste your sauce before serving and adjust heat with sriracha, sweetness with honey, and creaminess with Greek yogurt ratios to personalize the flavor profile without compromising the macro content.
- Toss Just Before Serving 🎯Keep the crispy tenders separate from the sauce until just before eating, then toss together quickly to maintain maximum crunchiness while achieving that signature bang bang coating.
