Easy Grilled Chicken Tenders

I already have this on the menu again this weekend. I just can't get enough of this yummy grilled chicken!We ate this chicken for lunch and leftover during the week.

Heck, I've seen Chicken Legs eating this leftover chicken cold straight out of the refrigerator.
How to Make Grilled Spicy Honey Lime Chicken Tenders
These Grilled Spicy Honey Lime Chicken Tenders are super easy to make. The chicken tenders are marinated in a combination of Italian dressing, lime juice, honey, chili powder, and red pepper flakes. SO simple! Put the chicken in a ziplock bag and pour the marinade in the bag. Seal it up and let it hang out in the refrigerator until you are ready to grill. I like to do this the night before we cook the chicken to give the chicken maximum flavor. If you don't have that long, just let the chicken marinate an hour or two.
I used chicken tenderloins. I love grilling up a big batch of chicken tenders and eating them during the week. Feel free to use your favorite cut of chicken - breasts, thighs, drumsticks. Any chicken part will work just fine!
