BAKED KETO CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Season chicken tenders with salt and pepper. Season the almond flour generously with salt and pepper.
• Beat 1 egg together with 1 tbsp of heavy cream.
• Dip each tender first in the egg wash and then into the seasoned almond flour. We like to place the tenders in a Tupperware container with the almond flour and shake to coat. A Ziploc bag also works well.
• Place tenders on a lightly greased baking sheet. Bake for 30 minutes. If they are not as crispy as you would like you can additionally broil them for 2-3 minutes.
• Allow tenders to cool for 5 minutes before enjoying.
• Store in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.

Use the other hand to press the chicken into the breading mixture and scoop more breading over the top, submerging the chicken strip to coat on all sides. Place on the baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining chicken strips.

KETO CHICKEN TENDERS | AIR FRYER CHICKEN TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• In a small, relatively flat bowl, beat the egg.
• In a ziptop bag, mix the almond flour, cheese, salt, pepper, and seasoning.
• Get a paper plate or dinner plate ready.
• Spray your air fryer basket with oil.
• Dip each tender in the egg and place on the plate until all the tenders have been dipped. Don't try to dip it in the breading or else you'll have messy hands and clumps in the breading. Just line up the eggy tenders until they're all ready.
• Now use a fork to pick up one tender at a time. Put that in the zip top bag and shake that bag like you mean it. Ensure the tenders are well covered in the almond mixture.
• Do NOT dip in egg and breading again. Tried it. Hugely messy and less tasty.
• Use the fork to pull out that tender and place it in your air fryer basket.
• Spray the tenders with oil.
• Cook at 350F for 12 minutes or until the inside registers 160F. Raise temperature to 400F for 3 minutes to brown the crust.
• Serve with Big Mac sauce. You can find the recipe to the sauce in my Keto Big Mac Salad recipe.

Steps:

• Cut chicken into strips (about 3 tenders per chicken breast). If they are thick. slice them in half first. I don't like to pound the meat (See post). Season with a little salt and black pepper. Do this first so the salt can soak in and sort of "dry brine" the meat. It will be juicier.
• Arrange three bowls - one with beaten eggs, one with coconut flour, and one with a mixture of coconut flakes, garlic powder, smoked paprika.
• Pour olive oil into a large frying pan and set the flame to medium.
• Dredge each chicken tender in the coconut flour, dip in the egg mixture, roll in the coconut flakes and immediately place in frying pan. Don't overcrowd the pan. Do in batches if needed. (See post tips if you have never fried chicken). Fry each side 3-5 minutes before flipping with tongs or a fork.
• Serve with your sauce of choice.

Add the remaining marinade to a small saucepan and bring to a boil, boil for 1 minute, take off the heat.
• Heat the grill to high and prepare it for cooking. Lower the heat to medium, place the chicken directly on the grates, brush with the leftover marinate every 30 seconds or so.

Make sure to use all the marinade up while the chicken is on the grill, this makes it extra flavorful!
