Step-by-Step Guide

Mixing Ingredients

1. In a large bowl, combine flour, garlic powder, paprika, cayenne pepper, salt, and black pepper.

Preparing the Egg Wash

2. In another bowl, whisk together eggs and water.

Frying

3. Dip each chicken tender first in the flour mixture, then in the egg wash, and again in the flour mixture. Ensure each tender is well-coated.

6. Drizzle the warm honey hot sauce over the fried chicken tenders.

Tips & Tricks

• Adjust the amount of hot sauce based on your preference for spice levels.
• Alternative variation: Add a squeeze of fresh lime juice to the honey hot sauce mixture for a tangy twist.
