Ingredients
For the Honey BBQ Chicken:
1 lb chicken tenders or boneless chicken breasts, sliced
½ cup flour
2 eggs, beaten
1½ cups breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes
½ cup BBQ sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon smoked paprika

2 cloves garlic, minced

Step-by-Step Instructions
1. Prepare the chicken coating. Dredge chicken pieces in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes.
2. Bake or air fry. Arrange chicken on a lined baking sheet. Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and crispy.
3. Make the honey BBQ glaze. In a small saucepan, warm BBQ sauce, honey, and smoked paprika. Brush over hot chicken before serving.
4. Cook the potatoes. In a skillet, melt butter with olive oil. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in cream and parmesan, then add cooked potatoes. Toss until coated and creamy.
5. Serve. Plate the crispy honey BBQ chicken alongside the creamy garlic parmesan potatoes. Garnish with parsley and extra parmesan if desired.
