Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1.5 lbs chicken tenders
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tsp kosher salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika (optional)

Method
 

  1. Whisk the olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt, pepper, oregano, and paprika in a large bowl. Add the chicken tenders, toss to coat, and let sit for at least 10 minutes.
  2. Heat a grill or grill pan to medium-high (400°F to 450°F). Oil the grates, then grill the tenders for 3 to 4 minutes on the first side and 2 to 3 minutes on the second, until they reach 165°F internally.
  3. Rest the tenders for 2 minutes, then serve with lemon wedges or slice against the grain.

Notes

Resting is not included in the cook time, so plan on a couple of extra minutes before you dig in. For the best char, avoid moving the chicken during the first 3 minutes of grill time.
