Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound chicken tenders
  • 1/2 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon ground ginger
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • Sesame seeds and chopped green onions for garnish optional

Method
 

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, ground ginger, and black pepper until well combined.
  2. Place the chicken tenders in a large resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, ensuring all pieces are well coated. Seal the bag or cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for more flavor.
  3. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or heat a grill over medium-high heat.
  4. If baking, line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess to drip off, and place the tenders on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  5. If grilling, brush the grill with vegetable oil to prevent sticking. Grill the chicken tenders for about 5-7 minutes on each side or until fully cooked.
  6. Once cooked, let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.
