Equipment
- oven
- casserole dish
- saucepan
Ingredients
- 12 to 14 pieces chicken tenders or about 2 pounds
- 1 cup ketchup
- 1 cup honey
- ⅓ cup brown sugar
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- ½ cup low sodium soy sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Spray 9x13-inch casserole dish with non-stick spray.
- In a saucepan combine ketchup, honey, brown sugar, soy, garlic, and red pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly 3 to 4 minutes.
- Place chicken in a pan and sprinkle with black pepper.
- Reserve ¼ cup of sauce then pour the remaining sauce over the chicken, covering all parts.
- Bake the chicken uncovered 35 to 40 minutes. Turn the chicken halfway through the cook time. (see notes for bone-in chicken.)
- Serve over rice with reserved sauce.
Notes
You can also use bone-in or boneless chicken breasts (4 to 6) or chicken legs or thighs (12 to 14). If you use chicken with the bone-in, you'll need to increase the cooking time to 60 to 75 minutes. Check the internal temperature of the chicken with a thermometer. The temperature should be 160 degrees in the thickest part of the chicken.
