Ingredients
- 1 lb chicken tenderloins
- 3 teaspoons garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon Kosher salt or to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F. and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a small bowl, combine the spices and mix until well combined.
- Coat the chicken tenders in olive oil and the spice mixture on both sides.
- Transfer chicken tenders to a prepared baking sheet and bake for 10 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees F.
- Enjoy immediately!
Notes
- Don't overcook the chicken otherwise, it will turn out dry.
- Season the chicken tenders on both sides for extra flavor.
- If you want them super spicy, add more cayenne pepper!
- Allow the chicken to rest at room temperature for at least 20 minutes before cooking. Baking cold chicken straight out of the fridge will result in uneven cooking.
