These Baked BBQ Chicken Tenders are my kid’s favorite dinner dish! Seasoned, baked, and brushed with BBQ sauce. The perfect family-friendly dinner idea.
I love BBQ chicken! It’s a food that all my family loves and we serve it in so many ways. I would say that it is on our table in some form at least once a week!
Some of our favorites include Baked BBQ Chicken Breast and Baked BBQ Chicken Drumsticks that taste like they came right off the grill. These tenders though are my kid’s favorite.
If you love bbq chicken as much as my family does then make sure to check out the rest of my recipes! I think you will love them.
Baked BBQ Chicken Tenders Ingredients:
- Chicken Tenders – I use fresh but frozen would work if thawed.
- Oil – use the oil you prefer. I usually make it with EVOO or vegetable oil.
- Paprika
- Garlic Powder
- Salt – add more or less to taste.
- BBQ Sauce – use your favorite brand.
How to make Baked BBQ Chicken Tenders:
Step one: Start by preheating your oven to 375 degrees F. Then prepare a 2 quart casserole dish with nonstick cooking spray and set it aside.
Step two: Place chicken tenders in a large baggy with oil and massage into chicken. Add in paprika, garlic powder, and salt. Massage chicken tenders again and dump everything into a casserole dish.
Step three: Bake for 20 minutes then remove the chicken tenders and brush with bbq sauce. Place back into the oven for 10 -15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
Step four: Remove from oven and let rest before serving.
Side Dish Options:
I love serving these on top of a salad, with a side salad, veggies, or potatoes. Here are a few more of my favorite
- Cheesy Corn Casserole
- Roasted Parmesan Garlic Potatoes
- Mashed Sweet Potatoes
- Roasted Ranch Green Beans
