Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet.
- Toss chicken tenders with olive oil, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
- Arrange the tenders in a single layer and roast for 12 to 15 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden and cooked through.
- While the chicken roasts, whisk together a quick honey-lime yogurt dip: Greek yogurt, honey, lime zest, a pinch of salt, and chopped cilantro.
- Shred cheddar cheese and warm chips or buns briefly in the oven for a minute to make them just pliable.
Assembly
- Assemble the snack setup: a big platter with chicken, chips or buns, little bowls of dip, lime wedges, and a bowl of pickled jalapeños.
- Serve and enjoy the texture contrast of each bite.
Notes
Pat the chicken dry before seasoning for the crispiest exterior. Use two bowls for dips: one cooling and one spicy. Store dips separately and keep chips in an airtight bag to avoid sogginess. Leftovers freeze well for up to 2 months.
