Creating delicious Oven Baked Chicken Tenderloins is straightforward. Just follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
2. Prepare Chicken: Place the chicken tenderloins in a large bowl. Pat them dry with paper towels to ensure crispiness.
3. Season Chicken: Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken. Add the garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, oregano, thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Toss until the chicken is well coated.
4. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the seasoned chicken tenderloins evenly on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they don’t touch.
5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
6. Rest: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes. This helps retain the juices.
