Instructions
Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) or heat a grill pan over medium-high heat.
In a large bowl, combine olive oil, paprika, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper to create a marinade.
Add chicken tenders to the bowl and toss to coat evenly. Let it marinate for 10-15 minutes while preparing the dipping sauces.
For the Garlic Herb Sauce: In a small bowl, mix Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, minced garlic, and lemon juice. Stir well and set aside.
For the Zesty Honey Mustard Sauce: In another bowl, combine honey, Dijon mustard, and yellow mustard. Whisk until smooth and set aside.
For the Creamy Sriracha Sauce: In a third bowl, mix sriracha, sour cream, and a pinch of salt. Stir until well combined and set aside.
Thread the marinated chicken tenders onto wooden or metal skewers.
Bake the chicken skewers in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway through, or grill them for 6-8 minutes per side until fully cooked and slightly charred.
Remove the chicken sticks from the heat and let them rest for 2-3 minutes.
Serve the spicy chicken sticks hot with the three dipping sauces on the side.
