Directions To Make Recipe For Chicken Tenders

  • Warm up the oven to 360F (180C). Set aside a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Combine the tenders with the oil, tamari, and seasonings in a medium bowl. Let’s sit while the oven heats up to absorb the marinade.
  • Transfer your tender chicken to the baking sheet in a single layer of sheet. Bake in the oven for at least 14 minutes, or until an instant-read meat thermometer inserted in the chicken tender reads at least 170F.
  • And then serve with your favorite spices sauce and side dishes. You can store leftover chicken tender in the fridge in a plastic bag for up to 2 days.

How To Remove The Tendon From Chicken Tenders

If your tenders still have that tough tendon coming through the center it means your tenders will not be at their best. Let me show you the best way to remove it in 1 min. Grip the tendon in 1 hand with a small piece of paper towel. On your other hand, put the tendon between the tines of your fork. In 1 powerful movement, drag the tendon up using the paper towel, and push down with the fork. The tendon will drag right out. This will split your tender almost completely down the center and check the temperature to at least 170F, but I would quite have that over a tough tendon in my chicken tender recipe any day.
