Crispy Hot Honey Chicken

Hot honey, or honey infused with chili, is an addictive combination of spicy and sweet. This versatile sauce perfectly complements the flavor of crispy chicken tenders, but is also excellent topped on pizza or in stir-fries. Crispy chicken tenders can also be conveniently prepared in an air fryer.
