Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by marinating the chicken strips in a bowl with buttermilk and a pinch of salt. Let it soak for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the coating mixture by combining flour, cornstarch, paprika, and garlic powder in a shallow dish.
  3. Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Dredge marinated chicken in the flour mixture, shaking off excess flour.
  4. Place coated chicken strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer and air fry for 10–12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
  5. Melt butter in a saucepan, add minced garlic, sauté until fragrant, then stir in honey until combined.
  6. Once chicken is cooked, drizzle the honey butter sauce over and toss to coat well.
  7. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve warm.
