Ingredients
Scale
- 10 chicken tenders or 1 lb chicken breasts cut into strips
- 1/2 cup BBQ sauce
- 3 large cloves garlic, minced
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare: Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Mix Sauce: Mix brown sugar, red pepper flakes, barbeque sauce and garlic in a small bowl.
- Coat: Dip each chicken tender in sauce and place chicken on the baking sheet.

Notes
Trim chicken of any fat or skin. Marinating the chicken longer adds more flavor. Do not overcrowd the pan to ensure even cooking. Allow the chicken to rest for 5-10 minutes before eating to prevent drying out.
