Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Oven Baked BBQ Chicken Tenders.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 375°F (190°C).
Step 2
While the oven warms up, grab an 8x8-inch casserole dish and give it a light spray with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, combine your barbeque sauce, Asian-flavored barbeque seasoning, and caramel sauce, mixing them together until they create a deliciously smooth blend.
Step 4
Set aside two tablespoons of this tasty mixture for later; it will add an extra burst of flavor to your dish.
Step 5
Now, take each chicken tender and dip it into the barbeque sauce mixture, making sure it’s fully coated in that sweet and savory goodness.
Step 6
Once coated, place the chicken tenders in your prepared casserole dish, arranging them neatly.
Step 7
Pop the dish into your preheated oven and let the chicken bake for about 25 minutes.
Step 8
You’ll know they’re ready when they’re no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear.
Step 9
For peace of mind, you can use an instant-read thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
As the chicken nears the finish line, take those reserved two tablespoons of barbeque sauce and baste the tenders during the last 5 minutes of baking.
Step 11
This will give them an irresistible glaze and enhance their flavor.
Step 12
Once done, take a moment to admire your creation before serving.
Step 13
Enjoy your deliciously baked chicken tenders, bursting with flavor and perfect for any occasion!.
