Follow The Directions

01

Step

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly coat with nonstick spray. (Prep time: 5 minutes)

02

Step

In a small bowl, whisk together the chili sauce, honey, lime juice, dried onion, brown sugar, garlic, and Sriracha. Allow the sauce to rest for 5 minutes, allowing the dried onion to soften and the flavors to meld. (Prep time: 7 minutes)

03

Step

Arrange the chicken tenders in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet. Brush generously with a thin layer of the tangy sauce. (Prep time: 3 minutes)

04

Step

Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush the remaining sauce over the chicken tenders, ensuring they are evenly coated. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 5 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should register at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (Cook time: 15 minutes)

05

Step

Garnish with lime wedges and serve immediately. Savor the delightful blend of flavors and the tender, juicy texture of these oven-baked chicken tenders. (Prep time: 2 minutes)

For an extra layer of flavor, marinate the chicken tenders in the tangy sauce for at least 30 minutes before baking.
Adjust the amount of Sriracha to suit your spice preference. For a milder flavor, start with 1/2 teaspoon and gradually increase to taste.
Serve these chicken tenders with a side of steamed rice, roasted vegetables, or a crisp salad for a complete and satisfying meal.
To ensure even cooking, use chicken tenders of uniform thickness.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave until warmed through.

    I found that 10 minutes was too long for my oven, so I reduced it to 8. Keep an eye on them!

  • Augusta Leffler

    The sauce is the star of the show. I doubled it so I could use some as a dipping sauce.

  • Lillian Wisoky

    I used agave instead of honey and it worked perfectly.
