Ingredients

2 tablespoons dry ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)
½ tablespoon chili powder, or to taste
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
½ teaspoon black pepper
1 pound chicken tenders
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Steps:

Mix dry ranch dressing, chili powder, cayenne, and black pepper in a small bowl. Coat chicken tenders with dry rub mix.
