19. Fried Chicken Tenders Chic-Fil-A
Servings: 8
Ingredients:
- Keto Fried Chicken Tenders:
- 8 Chicken Tenders
- 24oz Jar of Dill Pickles (you only need the juice)
- 3/4 Cup Now Foods Almond Flour
- 1 tsp Salt
- 1 tsp Pepper
- 2 Eggs, beaten
- 1 1/2 Cups Pork Panko (Bread Crumb Substitute)
- Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil for frying
- Low Carb Copycat Chick-Fil-A Sauce:
- 1/2 Cup Mayo
- 2 tsp Yellow Mustard
- 1 tsp Lemon Juice
- 2 tbsp Honey Trees Sugar-Free Honey
- 1 tbsp Organicville BBQ Sauce
Instructions:
- Pan Fried Keto Chicken Tenders: Place chicken tenders and pickle juice in a large zip lock bag and marinate for at least 1 hour, preferably overnight.
- In a small bowl, mix almond flour, salt, and pepper.
- Create an assembly line of three bowls: one with the almond flour mixture, the second with the beaten eggs, and the third with the pork panko.
- Dredge each chicken tender in the almond flour mixture, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the pork panko until well coated.
- Air Fryer Method: Set the air fryer to 375°F. Place the coated chicken tenders in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for about 15 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Pan Frying Method: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add about 2 tablespoons of Nutiva Organic Coconut Oil. Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken tenders in batches, ensuring they do not touch. Cook for about 3 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Low Carb Copycat Chick-Fil-A Sauce: In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, yellow mustard, lemon juice, sugar-free honey, and BBQ sauce. Stir until fully combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Serve the fried chicken tenders with the homemade Chick-Fil-A sauce for dipping.
