Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lbs. chicken tenderloins
- 2 tsp chili powder
- 2 tsp brown sugar
- 1 1/2 tsp onion salt
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Trim tenderloins of any weird stuff and pat dry. Combine all spices in a small bowl.
- Heat a large cast iron pan (or grill) over high heat. Spray with a mist of olive oil and let it get nice and hot. Sprinkle the rub liberally over the tops of the tenderloins and place in a single layer in the hot pan, seasoned side down. Let them sit, undisturbed for 2 minutes. Sprinkle remaining seasoning over the unseasoned side. It should be a liberal coating of spices!
- Flip chicken and cook for just one minute or until done. Turn off the heat and remove chicken and place on a plate tented with foil. Let it rest for 5 minutes and then enjoy!
