Bbq chicken tenders

BBQ chicken tenders are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that's perfect for any meal. With just a few simple ingredients - chicken breasts, BBQ sauce, and bread crumbs - you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that's sure to please everyone at the table. Follow these steps to cook savory BBQ chicken tenders that are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside.

Ingredients:

2 chicken breasts
240g
1 cup BBQ sauce
250g
1 cup bread crumbs
120g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it's at the right temperature when the chicken tenders are ready to bake.
2. Prepare the Chicken:
- Start by rinsing the chicken breasts under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels.
- Using a sharp knife, slice each chicken breast into strips, approximately 1 inch wide, mimicking the shape of traditional tenders.
3. Marinate the Chicken:
- Place the chicken strips into a large mixing bowl.
- Pour 1 cup (250g) of BBQ sauce over the chicken, ensuring each strip is well-coated.
- Allow the chicken to marinate for at least 15 minutes to absorb the flavors. For a deeper flavor, you can marinate them for a few hours in the refrigerator.
4. Bread the Chicken:
- Pour the bread crumbs into a shallow bowl or plate.
- Take each marinated chicken strip and roll it in the bread crumbs until fully coated. Press down lightly to ensure the bread crumbs stick well to the chicken.
5. Prepare the Baking Sheet:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the chicken tenders from sticking.
- Arrange the breaded chicken strips on the baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching each other. This helps them bake evenly and become crispy on all sides.
6. Bake the Chicken Tenders:
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken tenders are golden brown and cooked through. You can check the doneness by cutting into a piece to ensure there is no pink inside, or by using a meat thermometer (the internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
7. Serve:
- Remove the chicken tenders from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Serve these delicious BBQ chicken tenders hot, with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad.

Tips:

- Cut the chicken breasts into uniform tender-sized strips to ensure even cooking.

- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken strips in BBQ sauce for at least 30 minutes before coating them with bread crumbs.

- Use panko bread crumbs for an even crispier texture.

- Preheat your oven to ensure the tenders cook evenly and to the right texture.

- Line your baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent the chicken tenders from sticking and to make cleanup easier.

BBQ chicken tenders are not only delicious but also incredibly simple to prepare. By following these tips and steps, you can create a tasty and delightful meal that's perfect for weeknight dinners, parties, or any occasion. Enjoy your homemade BBQ chicken tenders with your favorite sides and dipping sauces!
