If your looking for a delicious meal that also makes for great snacks (even cold) this is a great recipe. In this cook I will demonstrate how to make delicious spicy garlic parmesan chicken tenders. The best part is this recipe is very easy to prepare. This is one of my favorite ways to prepare and cook chicken tenders.

Start by pre-heating your cooker to 240 degrees F. In my case I'm cooking on the Yoder YS640 pellet cooker and burning Bear Mountain Cascade Alder BBQ pellets. I'm also using the Amaze-N-Tube-Smoker by Maze-N-Products LLC. This cold smoke generator is used to augment the smoke from the pellet cooker giving a more pronounced smoke flavor to the chicken.

I start with preparing the chicken. Using a sharp knife, trim 3 1/2 - 4 lbs. of boneless chicken breasts. You may find it more reasonably priced to purchase family packs as I did. Once the chicken is trimmed, rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels.

In a medium casserole dish or pan mix the following ingredients.

1 1/4 Cup.Grated Parmesan Cheese
2 1/2 Tbsp. Mad Hunky Meats Hot Ass Whang Rub
1 1/2 Tsp. Johnny's Seasoning
3/4 Tbsp. Garlic Powder
1 1/2 Tsp. Coarse Ground Black Pepper

Using a fork or whisk, mix the ingredients thoroughly. Lay the tenders one or two at time into the coating and thoroughly coat. Using your hands sprinkle the coating all over the tenders. Press down firmly to get a nice thick coating. Once coated, set them on to a baking sheet. Continue until all the tenders are coated.

Once coated it's time to load the chicken into your cooker. In this cook I'm placing the tenders directly onto my upper cooking rack which I sprayed with Pam Grill spray. This will keep the chicken from sticking to my grate. Place any residual coating that may be left on the baking sheet onto the chicken. Close the hood and cook @ 240 degrees F until the internal temp of the chicken reaches 169-170 degrees or the temp you prefer.

Once the chicken has reached the preferred temp (which should be at least 165 degrees F) you may remove it. Place the chicken on a platter and serve with the sides of your choosing. I like to serve mine with an variety of dipping sauces such as Bacon Blue Cheese dressing, Ranch dressing, BBQ sauce and Pace Picante sauce.

The tenders make for great snacks served hot or cold. Low carb too!

That's it! As I stated earlier it's a simply but delicious cook. I hope you enjoyed the recipe and video.
