Author note: The chicken tenders can be roasted in the oven at 400 degrees F for 25-30 minutes. If cooking in the oven, place a cooling rack on top of a rimmed sheet pan and then place the chicken tenders on top of the cooling rack pan. Place into the oven and cook until the tenders reach 160-165 degrees.

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 teaspoons ground ginger

3 teaspoons kosher salt

3 pounds chicken tenders

In a marinade dish or a large bowl, combine the yogurt, Dion, olive oil, red pepper flakes, ginger, salt, mustard, garlic, lemon zest. Stir well.

Add the chicken tenders to the yogurt marinade. Make sure the tenders are completely covered with the mixture. Cover and place in the fridge overnight or at least 8 hours.
