  • Season the chicken tenders well: This is the key to getting flavorful chicken. You can use a store-bought seasoning blend or make your own. Some popular seasonings for chicken tenders include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  • Cook the chicken tenders on low heat: This will help to prevent the chicken from drying out. Cook the chicken tenders for 4-6 hours on low, or until they are cooked through.
  • Use a thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken tenders: The chicken is cooked through when it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce: Some popular dipping sauces for chicken tenders include barbecue sauce, honey mustard, and ranch dressing.

Conclusion:

Crock-Pot Barbecue Chicken Tenders are a delicious and easy-to-make meal. They are perfect for busy weeknights or for a casual gathering. The chicken tenders are cooked in a flavorful barbecue sauce until they are fall-off-the-bone tender. Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce and enjoy!
