Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 lb chicken tenders
1/2 c italian dressing
1 tsp fresh lime juice
1 1/2 tsp honey

Steps:

  • 1. Mix dressing, lime juice and honey. Pour over chicken tenders and marinate at least one hour. Cook tenders in a non stick pan or grill until golden.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use a charcoal grill or a gas grill with a smoker box. This will give the chicken a smoky flavor that is characteristic of grilled chicken at Cracker Barrel.
  • If you don't have a smoker box, you can add a few wood chips to the coals or the gas grill's flavorizer bars. This will also give the chicken a smoky flavor.
  • Be sure to preheat your grill to medium-high heat before cooking the chicken. This will help to sear the outside of the chicken and prevent it from sticking to the grill.
  • Cook the chicken for 8-10 minutes per side, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. This will ensure that the chicken is cooked through and safe to eat.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help to redistribute the juices and make the chicken more tender.

Conclusion:

Cracker Barrel grilled chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you're cooking for a family meal or a backyard barbecue, this recipe is sure to please everyone. With its smoky flavor and juicy texture, Cracker Barrel grilled chicken is a dish that you'll want to make again and again.
