Ingredients

Scale

Primary Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken tenders (fresh, boneless, skinless)
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Marinade and Chicken: Combine olive oil, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a bowl. Toss the chicken tenders in this mixture, ensuring each piece is evenly coated for perfect flavor infusion.
  2. Preheat Your Grill: Heat your grill to medium-high to ensure a nice sear and quick cooking time, which locks in the juices of the chicken tenders.
  3. Grill the Chicken Tenders: Place the chicken tenders on the grill, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F and have beautiful grill marks.
  4. Rest and Serve: Allow the tenders to rest for a few minutes after grilling. This helps the juices redistribute, keeping each bite juicy and tender.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure perfectly cooked chicken without drying it out.
  • Do not overcrowd the grill; give each tender enough space for even cooking and caramelization.
  • Marinate the tenders for at least 30 minutes to dramatically enhance the flavors.
  • Oil the grill grates to prevent sticking and achieve great grill marks.
  • Turn the chicken tenders only once during cooking to lock in juices.
