Notes

Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying to get a crispy coating. Adjust the amount of hot sauce in the honey glaze to match your spice preference. You can add cayenne pepper to the flour mixture for an extra kick. If you have leftovers, place the chicken tenders in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or frying pan for best results. For a healthier version, try baking the chicken tenders at 400°F (200°C) for about 20 minutes.
