Ingredients

1 lb boneless, skinless chicken breast (cut into 1-inch thick strips)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs (beaten)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/3 cup buffalo sauce (adjust to taste)
2 tbsp honey
Cooking spray or light oil (for air frying)

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes.
Cut chicken into strips and pat dry.
In a bowl, mix flour with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Set up a breading station: seasoned flour in one bowl, beaten eggs in another.
Dip each strip into the flour, then the egg, and back into the flour.
Arrange chicken in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Do not overcrowd.
Lightly spray or brush with oil.
Cook for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
While cooking, warm buffalo sauce and honey in a saucepan over low heat.
Toss hot chicken strips in the glaze just before serving.
