Homemade Blackened Chicken Strips

Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

Since these are so difficult to find in stores, you all asked me to create a copycat version, so here it is. HOMEMADE BLACKENED CHICKEN STRIPS. But caution: while they are so extremely delicious, these pack on the heat. I paired it with my homemade spicy ranch, to cool it down a bit, without removing the heat flavor.

Loving this recipe? Then you have to try out my jerk chicken strips with BBQ sauce.

Ingredients
 

Tenders

  • 16 ounces chicken tenderloins about 6-7 pieces
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon onion powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon ground red pepper

  • ½ teaspoon chili powder
  • ¼ teaspoon paprika
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
  • ⅛ teaspoon red pepper

Instructions

Tenders

  • Place all seasonings in a small container and stir together to evenly combine
  • Set chicken tenderloins out on a dish or clean surface. Sprinkle each side evenly with the seasonings mix, as much or as little as you want, remember this is a SPICY dish
  • Preheat air fryer to 400 degrees. Place seasoned tenders in your air fryer and air fry for 1 minute. Spray with cooking spray then air fry for another 4 minutes. Flip chicken over, spray with cooking spray again, then air fry for another 5-7 minutes, until fully cooked
  • Or you can bake the chicken in the oven at 450 degrees. Bake on a greased baking tray for 12-15 minutes, or until fully cooked. Flip and spray the chicken with cooking spray halfway

Spicy Ranch

  • Combine all ingredients in a small container and store in the fridge while the chicken cooks to allow the flavors to form together

If you want something less spicy to dip your tenders in, try my normal zero point healthy ranch. Really good!
