If you prefer a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the brown sugar mixture.
To ensure even cooking and prevent sticking, lightly spray the cooling rack with non-stick cooking spray before arranging the tenders.
These tenders are fantastic served with a side of barbecue sauce, honey mustard, or ranch dressing for dipping.
