These chicken tenders have a barbecue base but are elevated with a decidedly Asian influence. I use Savory Spice® Asian Delight BBQ Rub, which is different from Chinese five-spice.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

cooking spray
⅓ cup barbeque sauce (such as Sweet Baby Ray's® Hickory & Brown Sugar)
1 ½ tablespoons Asian-flavored barbeque seasoning (such as Savory Spice® Asian Delight BBQ Rub)
1 tablespoon caramel sauce
1 pound chicken tenders

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Spray an 8x8-inch casserole dish with cooking spray.

  • Dip each chicken tender into the barbeque sauce mixture and coat thoroughly. Place in the prepared casserole dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 25 minutes. Baste with reserved sauce and continue baking for 5 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

  • To make the sauce ahead of time, simply combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and store it in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When you're ready to cook the chicken, simply pour the sauce over the chicken and cook according to the recipe.
  • Serve the chicken tenders with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, green beans, or coleslaw.
