Ingredients
- ½ cup sweet chili sauce
- ½ cup bottled ranch dressing
- 1½ pounds chicken tenders
Instructions
- Prepare the Marinade: In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the sweet chili sauce and ranch dressing until well combined.
- Marinate the Chicken: Place the chicken tenders in a gallon ziplock bag. Pour the marinade over the chicken, seal the bag, and ensure all pieces are well-coated. For best results, refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.
- Preheat the Grill: When ready to cook, preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
- Grill the Chicken: Remove the chicken from the marinade, discarding any excess marinade. Grill the chicken tenders for about 10 minutes, turning occasionally, until fully cooked and slightly charred on the edges.
Cooking Tips
- Marinating Time: While a minimum of 2 hours is sufficient to infuse the chicken with flavor, marinating overnight will yield the best results.
- Grill Temperature: Ensure your grill is properly preheated to avoid sticking and to achieve those perfect grill marks.
