KONA K'S HEALTHY OVEN-BAKED BUTTERMILK CHICKEN TENDERLOINS



Kona K's Healthy Oven-Baked Buttermilk Chicken Tenderloins image

A great recipe to try when you're in the mood for fried chicken, but can't afford all the calories and fat. If you're out of buttermilk, you can just substitute 1/4 C milk + 1 TSP vinegar. I like to spice this up by adding lots of hot sauce. If time allows, I would recommend soaking the chicken tenderloins in the buttermilk, garlic powder and hot sauce mixture in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This will make the chicken much more flavorful. (Picture: served with Kona K's Oven-Roasted Baby Potatoes Recipe #368944)

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

nonstick cooking spray
¼ cup tomato-based chili sauce (such as Heinz®)
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon dried minced onion
1 teaspoon brown sugar
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce, or more to taste
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken tenders
½ medium lime, cut into 4 wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray lightly with nonstick spray.
  • Combine chili sauce, honey, lime juice, dried onion, brown sugar, garlic, and Sriracha in a small bowl. Let the sauce sit for 5 minutes to allow the dried onion to soften a bit.
  • Spread out chicken tenders on the prepared baking sheet; brush with a thin coat of the sauce.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, remove from oven, and brush on the remaining sauce. Return to the oven and bake until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 5 more minutes.

  • Add a teaspoon of garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika to the breadcrumb mixture for extra flavor.
  • To make the chicken tenders extra juicy, marinate them in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • If you don't have buttermilk, you can make your own by adding 1 tablespoon of lemon juice or white vinegar to 1 cup of regular milk. Let it sit for 5 minutes before using.
  • Bake the chicken tenders at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for a short amount of time (10-12 minutes) to ensure that they are cooked through but still juicy.
  • Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
