• 2 tbsp honey

• 2 tbsp fresh lime juice (or lemon juice for variation)

• 1 tsp kosher salt

• ½ tsp black pepper

Instructions

1. Make the marinade

• In a large bowl, whisk together Italian dressing, garlic, honey, lime juice, salt, and pepper until fully combined.

2. Marinate chicken

• Add chicken tenderloins to the bowl and toss well to coat.

• Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes to 1 hour.

3. Preheat the air fryer

• Set to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray the basket with olive oil spray.

4. Cook

• Arrange marinated chicken tenderloins in a single layer in the basket.

• Air fry for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

5. Rest & serve

• Remove from the air fryer and let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Notes & Variations

• For heat: Add cayenne pepper or a splash of sriracha to the marinade.

• For smokiness: Mix in smoked paprika.

• For extra crunch: Coat chicken in seasoned breadcrumbs or crushed cornflakes before air frying.

• Always use a meat thermometer to prevent overcooking.

If you want, I can also give you a Copycat Cracker Barrel side dish list that pairs perfectly with these tenderloins so you can make a full restaurant-style meal at home. Would you like me to prepare that?
