How To Make Broiled Chicken Tenders
First, preheat the broiler to high heat.
Drizzle olive oil on chicken tenders. Then sprinkle them with seasonings. Rub in to coat evenly.
Flip the chicken tenders over and add more seasonings. Rub in once again.
Lay out seasoned chicken tenders on the baking sheet in a single layer, with plenty of space between each one.
Broil the chicken on the top shelf of the oven for 7 minutes.
Pull the baking sheet out of the oven and check that chicken is cooked through. The thickest part of the tenders should read at least 165 degrees on a meat thermometer. If not, place the chicken back in the oven for a minute or two until it is done. Be sure to keep an eye on the oven, as the chicken might overcook and become tough.
Once the chicken tenders are done, use tongs to move them to a serving plate.
Cooking Tips
- For easy clean-up, lay aluminum foil on the baking sheet. Spray it with nonstick spray or rub with butter so the chicken doesn’t stick to it.
- Can use olive oil, vegetable oil, or even butter to top the chicken
- Choose any seasonings you like on chicken
- No need to flip the chicken during the broiling process, both sides will brown up evenly in the oven
Does Broiling Chicken Dry It Out?
To prevent chicken from becoming dry and tough while broiling, first coat it in oil or butter. This will help to keep it moist during the cooking process.
