Grilled Yogurt Chicken Tenders

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.

32 ounces plain yogurt

1/4 cup Dijon mustard

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes

2 teaspoons ground ginger

3 teaspoons kosher salt

2 tablespoons ground mustard

5 garlic cloves, crushed

zest of one lemon

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.

Heat the grill to 350-400 degrees.

Remove the chicken from the marinade dish. Place the chicken onto the grill and cook 8 to 10 minutes, turning once, until the chicken reaches 160-165 degrees. 

Remove the chicken from the grill, top with lemon zest and serve warm with your favorite dipping sauces.
