  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a 12x18-inch sheet pan with aluminum foil. Using your fingertips, spread 1 teaspoon olive oil on the aluminum foil-lined pan, and set aside.
  • Combine chili powder, paprika, smoked paprika, cumin, coriander, oregano, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and cayenne in a small bowl, stirring to evenly combine ingredients.
  • Pat chicken tenders dry with paper towels. Lightly brush 1 teaspoon olive oil over the tenders and sprinkle with 1/2 of the spice mixture. Place tenders, seasoned side down, in a single layer on the prepared sheet pan.
  • Brush the tops of the tenders with remaining 1 teaspoon olive oil and sprinkle remaining spice mixture over everything.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 8 minutes. Carefully turn tenders, raise the oven rack to the broil position, turn on the broiler, and broil until chicken tenders are cooked through and begin to take on a bit of char, about 3 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
