Directions (For Chicken)
- Rinse the chicken tenders and pat dry. Place in a large ziplock bag.
- Combine the rest of the ingredients in a high speed blender until smooth.

- Pour the marinade into the bag of chicken, seal and place in the refrigerator for 4 to 6 hours.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Place the marinated chicken in a baking pan and bake for 30 minutes.
