Ingredients
- 1 lb Chicken tenders
- 0.5 cup Fresh orange juice
- 1 orange Zest of an orange
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 0.5 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.25 tsp Paprika
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 2 tbsp Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together orange juice, orange zest, soy sauce, honey, olive oil, minced garlic cloves, black pepper, paprika, and salt to create the marinade.
Step 2
Place chicken tenders in a resealable plastic bag or shallow dish. Pour the marinade over the chicken, making sure each piece is well-coated.
Step 3
Seal the bag (or cover the dish) and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours for a more intense flavor.
Step 4
Preheat your grill or grill pan to medium-high heat. Lightly grease the grill grates or pan with cooking spray to prevent sticking.
Step 5
Remove chicken tenders from the marinade, allowing the excess liquid to drip off, and place them on the hot grill.
Step 6
Grill the chicken for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is cooked through and has a nice golden-brown color. Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
Transfer the grilled chicken fingers to a serving plate and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for garnish.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or alongside a fresh salad for a complete meal.
