Bold Bee BBQ Baked Chicken Tenders

Serves: 3–4 | Prep Time: 15 mins | Cook Time: 15–20 mins | Temp: 400°F

The ultimate family dinner upgrade! These Bold Bee BBQ Baked Chicken Tenders are incredibly crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and completely gluten-free. We toss them in olive oil and our sweet and smoky Bold Bee BBQ Seasoning, roll them in panko, and bake them to golden perfection. Serve them with our 3-ingredient creamy honey-BBQ dipping sauce and watch them disappear!

Ingredients:

The Chicken Tenders:

• 1.5 lbs chicken breast tenders (or chicken breasts sliced into strips)
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons CMM Bold Bee BBQ Seasoning
• 1 ½ cups gluten-free panko breadcrumbs

The Honey-BBQ Dunk Sauce:

• • ½ cup mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon CMM Bold Bee BBQ Seasoning

Instructions:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Toss the chicken tenders in a large bowl with the olive oil and CMM Bold Bee BBQ Seasoning until they are evenly coated.
3. Place the panko breadcrumbs in a separate shallow dish or pie plate.
4. Roll each seasoned chicken tender in the panko breadcrumbs, pressing firmly so the breadcrumbs stick and completely coat the chicken.
5. Arrange the coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each one so they get crispy.
6. Bake at 400°F for 15–20 minutes (turning halfway through) until the panko is golden-brown and the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.
7. Whisk together the mayonnaise, honey, and CMM Bold Bee BBQ Seasoning in a small bowl until smooth while the chicken bakes. Serve alongside the warm, crispy tenders.
