We were skeptical about how this low-calorie, high-protein air fryer recipe would turn out but it tastes as good as it looks.
One of the biggest appeals of buying the best air fryer is being able to make quick and healthy recipes at the press of a button, and one of the best places we’ve found to discover such recipes is TikTok.
Food writer and author of the Very Hungry Greek cookbook, Christina Kynigos (@veryhungrygreek) (opens in new tab) is a great source of healthy cooking inspiration and when her honey-garlic chicken tender recipe recently went viral, we had to give it a go.
The recipe itself is quick and simple. It takes just 20 minutes from start to finish and contains a number of cupboard staples and everyday items, including paprika, soy sauce, honey, and cornflakes. This also makes it an affordable choice.
Most importantly, though, it’s absolutely delicious. An entire plate of tenders contains 361 calories and 43g of protein and it’s hard to believe that something so healthy could taste this good. Plus, it’s easy to swap in vegan alternatives for the chicken and honey, or replace the cornflakes with a breading of your choice. All without sacrificing taste.
Whether you’re looking for a filling lunchtime snack, a protein source for your salads and main meals, or want to impress guests, you can’t go wrong with these tenders. If getting fitter (and healthier) for 2023 is a goal, keep your eyes peeled for TechRadar’s GFF23 week, starting tomorrow.
