Main Ingredients: Chicken Breast Tenders, Salt, Black Pepper, All Purpose
Kids (and adults) will love these crispy and flavorful baked chicken tenders. The beer can method ensures that the chicken stays moist and tender while the panko bread crumb coating adds a crunchy and satisfying texture. Serve them with your favorite dipping sauce for a family-friendly meal.
Ingredients:
1. Chicken:
For this recipe, you will need 4 chicken breasts or 8 chicken thighs. You can use boneless, skinless chicken or leave the skin on for an extra crispy texture. Make sure to pat the chicken dry with a paper towel before marinating to ensure maximum flavor absorption.
2. Jamaican Jerk Seasoning:
The key to achieving the authentic Jamaican flavor in this dish is the jerk seasoning. You can either make your own by combining spices like allspice, thyme, garlic, and scotch bonnet peppers, or use a store-bought jerk seasoning mix. Make sure to coat the chicken generously with the seasoning for maximum flavor.
3. Citrus Juices:
To balance out the heat from the jerk seasoning, we will be using a mixture of citrus juices like lime, orange, and pineapple. This will not only add a burst of tangy flavor but also help tenderize the chicken.
4. Brown sugar:
To add a touch of sweetness to the dish, we will be using brown sugar. This will not only balance out the spicy and tangy flavors but also create a beautiful caramelized glaze on the chicken.
Method:
1. Marinate the chicken:
In a bowl, mix together the jerk seasoning, citrus juices, and brown sugar. Place the chicken in a Ziploc bag or a shallow dish and pour the marinade over it. Make sure to coat the chicken well. Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
2. Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
3. Bake the chicken:
Place the marinated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes for boneless chicken and 35-40 minutes for bone-in chicken. Halfway through the cooking time, brush the chicken with the remaining marinade. This will create a delicious glaze on the chicken.
4. Serve and enjoy:
Once the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Serve hot with your favorite side dishes like rice and beans, plantains, or coleslaw. Enjoy the bold and flavorful taste of Jamaica right in your own kitchen.
