It’s been a long time since I’ve cooked chicken in my oven. Whether thighs or chicken breasts, they just come out so much better in the air fryer, and in less time! I have a few go-to recipes that are in the regular dinner rotation at my house. We are a honey mustard loving family.
For this recipe, store bought honey mustard certainly works, but I have really taken to making my own with just two ingredients- obviously honey and mustard (dijon, specifically 😉 Equal parts with a dash of ground white pepper.
For the chicken, I coated each tender in the honey mustard and coated in a mixture of Panko and Italian breadcrumbs. That’s it! Too easy. Full recipe and instructions below 😊
