Preheat the air fryer according to the manufacturer's instructions.

In a bowl, whisk the egg with a splash of water.

In a separate bowl, combine crushed cornflake cereal, kosher salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, cayenne pepper, dried thyme, onion powder, and garlic powder.

Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, then coat with the cornflake mixture.

Place the coated chicken strips in the air fryer basket in a single layer and spray lightly with cooking oil.

Cook the chicken strips in the air fryer at the recommended temperature for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through.

While the chicken is cooking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan and whisk in the honey and hot sauce until combined.

After cooking, drizzle the hot honey sauce over the chicken tenders and garnish with minced parsley if desired.
