Steps:
- Mix dry ranch dressing, chili powder, cayenne, and black pepper in a small bowl. Coat chicken tenders with dry rub mix.
- Heat oil in a cast iron skillet over medium heat. Place chicken tenders into the hot oil. Cook over medium heat without moving to blacken skin, about 4 minutes. Turn chicken and cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 2 more minutes.

SHEET PAN BLACKENED CHICKEN STRIPS
I really love the convenience of cooking in the oven on a sheet pan, since you can do a larger quantity than in a skillet, and there is a lot less mess. These tasty, versatile chicken strips have no breading, so they are compliant for many different eating plans. With lots of fragrant spices and a personalized "heat" level, you can serve them with a dip as an appetizer, add some toppings and wrap in a flat-bread or tortilla, or serve in a toasted roll with remoulade for a taste of New Orleans. Coming in well under 30 minutes, they make a delicious addition to any meal.

Steps:
- 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).
