Baked Honey Chicken Tenders (Recipe 105 of 125)

This one is a keeper! The balance of the flavors really hit the spot for me. It's the first marinade that I've  used minced onion as part of it. That really added a nice onion flavor, but was not overwhelming. 

You may notice that the pieces of chicken look more grilled than baked and you'd be right. I'm not a fan of baking if I don't need to. I prefer my meat grilled. I doubt the cooking method makes a big difference in the recipe. In fact, grilled makes it better in my opinion...it has those caramelized grill parts.

Baked Honey Chicken Tenders
Recipe from Six Sisters Stuff

Serves 4

2 pounds boneless skinless chicken breast tenders

1/3 c honey

1/4 c soy sauce

1 tsp ground ginger

1 tsp minced garlic

2 T dried minced onions

4 green onions (sliced)

Spray a 9 x 13 inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.

Arrange chicken tenders in single layer in pan.

In a medium-sized bowl, mix together honey, soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and dried onions. Pour mixture over chicken. Cover pan with plastic wrap and let marinate in fridge for about an hour (I let mine marinate for about 3 hours), turning chicken once, about half way through marinating time.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Remove chicken from fridge, discard plastic wrap, and bake chicken for about 20 minutes.

Remove chicken from oven, turn chicken pieces over, top with sliced green onions, and return to oven and bake for 10 more minutes (or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear).
