Grilled Honey Mustard Chicken Tenders Recipe
These grilled honey mustard chicken tenders are sweet, tangy, and perfect for summer dinners, cookouts, BBQs, and easy family meals.
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon whole grain Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 lbs chicken tenderloins
Instructions
- Add the olive oil, white wine vinegar, whole grain mustard, honey, garlic, paprika,salt, and black pepper to a large bowl. Whisk the marinade until it is smooth and well combined.
- Add the chicken tenderloins to the bowl and toss until each piece is well coated.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours.
- Preheat the grill to medium heat, about 400°F, and lightly oil the grates so the chicken does not stick.
- Remove the chicken from the marinade and let any excess drip off before placing the tenderloins on the grill.
- Grill the chicken tenders for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until they are golden, lightly charred, and cooked through.
- Transfer the grilled honey mustard chicken tenders to a plate and let them rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- If baking instead of grilling, bake the marinated chicken tenderloins at 400°F for 15 to 18 minutes, or until they reach 165°F.
- If air-frying, cook the chicken tenderloins at 375°F for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping halfway through, until they reach 165°F.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days. Reheat gently in the air fryer, oven, skillet, or microwave until warmed through.
