Instructions
1
Preheat the air fryer to 400°F (200°C) for 5 minutes so the cooking basket becomes thoroughly hot.
2
Pat chicken tenders thoroughly dry with paper towels and place them in a medium mixing bowl.
3
Toss chicken with olive oil, cornstarch, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.
4
Arrange coated chicken tenders in the preheated air fryer basket in a single, uncrowded layer for even crisping.
5
Air fry tenders undisturbed for 5 minutes until the bottom crust is crisp, golden, and firm.
6
Flip tenders with tongs and air fry 4 to 5 minutes more until golden brown and cooked through.
7
While chicken cooks, thinly slice scallions, mince garlic cloves, and julienne the crisp apple on the cutting board.
8
In a second mixing bowl, whisk toasted sesame oil, apple cider vinegar, salt, and toasted sesame seeds.
9
Add shredded cabbage, julienned apple, and half the scallions to the bowl, tossing until slaw is evenly coated.
10
In a small bowl, stir together honey, hot sauce, melted butter, minced garlic, and remaining apple cider vinegar.
11
Brush or toss the hot crispy tenders with the spicy garlic glaze until glossy, sticky, and completely coated.
12
Divide crisp sesame apple slaw and glazed chicken tenders between plates, scattering remaining sliced scallions over top.
