In a bowl, mix together honey, melted butter, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Add chicken tenders to the bowl and coat them evenly with the honey garlic mixture.
In a separate plate, spread the breadcrumbs.
Dredge each chicken tender in the breadcrumbs and ensure they are fully coated.
Preheat your air fryer to 380°F (193°C) and spray the basket with cooking spray.
Place the breaded chicken tenders in the air fryer basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap.
Air fry for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through, until chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
Remove from the air fryer and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Pat the tenders dry before tossing them in the honey butter mixture for better adhesion. Use panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch.
