This recipe offers a delightful twist on a classic chicken dish, featuring a sweet and savory honey garlic sesame glaze.
Combine the soy sauce, olive oil, honey, minced garlic, ground ginger, red pepper flakes, and sesame seeds in a mixing bowl.
Whisk the marinade thoroughly to ensure the honey dissolves evenly.
Add the chicken tenders to the marinade and toss to coat evenly.
For best results, let the chicken marinate in the refrigerator for at least three hours.
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated before placing the chicken inside for even cooking.
Place the marinated chicken in a baking dish and pour the remaining marinade over the top.
Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer for even cooking.
Bake the chicken for 10 minutes, then flip each piece and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes until fully cooked.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken over steamed rice or with your favorite vegetables.
Garnish with additional sesame seeds or chopped green onions for extra flavor and presentation.
