  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha or red pepper flakes to taste - optional

Instructions

Grill Instructions

  • Slice chicken thinly. Set aside.
  • Place ingredients into a big bowl or bag and shake to cover, working the sauce into all the chicken.
  • Ideally, leave to marinate for a minimum of 30 minutes but up to 4 hours.
  • Preheat an oiled grill or oiled grill pan to medium-high heat.
  • Grill chicken tenders onto a heated grill/griddle pan and grill for 3-4 minutes per side.
  • Serve warm, with rice or on top of a salad.
  • You can garnish with a few hot pepper flakes.

Air Fryer Instructions

  • Preheat air fryer to 375 degrees F / 190 degrees C. Slice chicken into tenders.
  • Combine all of the marinade ingredients in a large bowl or bag. Add in the chicken tenders, and toss to coat well. Let marinate for at least 30 minutes or up to 4 hours. 
  • Place chicken tenders in a single layer inside the air fryer basket, and air fry for 10-12 minutes, turning over halfway through the cook time.
  • Check for doneness using a meat thermometer. The chicken is done when the internal temperature is at least 165 degrees F / 74 degrees C.
