See RecipeFor tenderness and flavor, chicken thighs are often preferred. However, chicken breasts can be used for a leaner option, just be sure not to overcook them.
Marinating chicken tenders ahead of time will infuse them with more flavor. Additionally, using a combination of fresh herbs, spices, and aromatics will enhance the taste.
Chicken tenders cook quickly due to their size. Typically, they only need a few minutes per side when pan-frying or grilling.
Yes, you can, but it's better to thaw them first to ensure even cooking. If cooking from frozen, extend the cooking time and ensure they reach an internal temperature of 165°F.
Grilling, baking, and stir-frying with minimal oil are healthy ways to prepare chicken tenders. Incorporate plenty of vegetables and opt for whole grain sides for a balanced meal.
