Marinade

Chicken

Method

Marinade Preparation

  1. 1

    Mix Marinade Ingredients

    In a bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, honey, Dijon mustard, salt, black pepper, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Whisk until well blended.

  2. 2

    Marinate Chicken Tenders

    Place the chicken tenders in a resealable plastic bag or a shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for better flavor.

Grilling

  1. 3

    Preheat Grill

    Preheat your grill to medium-high heat (about 375°F to 400°F).

  2. 4

    Grill Chicken Tenders

    Remove the chicken tenders from the marinade and discard the remaining marinade. Place the tenders on the grill. Grill for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has nice grill marks, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.

  3. 5

    Rest and Serve

    Once cooked, remove the chicken tenders from the grill and let them rest for 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain the juices. Serve warm and enjoy!
