2 pounds chicken tenderloins

Notes
Any barbecue sauce you love will work beautifully in this recipe. Use your favorite gluten-free barbecue sauce to customize the flavor.
Not a fan of corn? Simply leave it out or substitute your favorite vegetables. Bell peppers, zucchini, green beans, or even roasted sweet potatoes make delicious additions to this crispy BBQ chicken recipe.
If you don't have a barbecue seasoning blend on hand, you can create your own flavor profile by adding a little brown sugar for sweetness, crushed red pepper flakes for heat, or a splash of vinegar for extra tang and depth.
For extra crispy edges, spread the shredded chicken into an even layer on the sheet pan before broiling and avoid overcrowding the pan.
