Might you try an acetylene torch on the outside with the marinade coating it, as you would for creme brulee?

OP here. I've been reading some Reddit threads as well. Pan frying seems to be the consensus--my issue is really around the smell bc I don't have a fan above my stove. I do keep a bowl of vinegar by the stove when sautéing onions but even then it smells the next day.
I think I'm also overcrowding my pan and not patting the chicken dry after marinating. It sounds like I'm more "steaming" my chicken. I personally don't really care about the chicken's color but DH strongly prefers "browned" chicken and keeps commenting (lol).
How would you pat the chicken dry after you marinate it? That would ... take off the marinade.

I think my oven might not really be at 425 degrees bc the tenders are just cooked at 23 minutes. They’re still very juicy and tender. Some good suggestions here. I’ll try broiling I’m hesitant bc of the whole under oven broiler seems inconsistent. I can’t set the oven to broil or anything. Anyone use an under oven broiler and have tips?

How does your DH get chicken tenders to brown? Perhaps he could show you the technique he enjoys.

Try this. They recommend 15-20 mins.

The searing won’t take long. Can you open a nearby kitchen window to allow venting of smoke and smell?

I guess in your position I'd do a quick 20 min brine bath, then broil them for about 3- 4 mins each side. See how that goes. Temp check, of course. After a 5 min rest.

If I sear will I avoid the smell? That's a good option to consider. I have nonstick pans because I tend to cook with minimal oil but I could try being more flexible.

Tenders? Just pan fry them instead

Skinless? That's hard to brown in an oven without drying out. I would add a spice rub, one that includes sugar to promote browning, and something like paprika for color. Pat the chicken dry, rub with a bit of oil, pat on the spice rub, and bake as normal.
You could also try marinating - again, make sure it includes sugar for the browning effect - probably won't be as effective as a spice rub, but might help.

I don't have a fan for my stove, so I tend to bake all my chicken. I substitute breast for thighs as well. My chicken has great flavor but it's so pale it almost looks poached. My broiler is one of those under the oven trays which I'm honestly not sure how to operate. Help please! How can I brown my chicken? I generally bake chicken breast tenders at 425 for 23 minutes or so.
