Equipment

  • Food processor (Used to finely chop or blend ingredients such as coconut, almond flour, and seasonings for the breading mixture.)
  • Oven (Used to bake the chicken tenders, resulting in a healthier option compared to frying.)
  • Baking sheet (Placed in the oven to cook the chicken tenders. Should be lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.)
  • Bowl (Used to mix together ingredients such as the almond flour, coconut, and seasonings for the breading mixture.)
  • Cooking spray (Used to lightly coat the baking sheet to prevent sticking during cooking.)
  • Toaster oven (Can be used for reheating the chicken tenders, providing a quick and easy way to enjoy leftovers without losing the crispy texture.)

Ingredients
  

  • 2 lb. Chicken tenders (2 pounds)
  • ½ cup Very small pieces of desiccated coconut, make them into small pieces via a food processor
  • ½ cup Almond flour
  • ¼ tsp Cayenne powder
  • ½ tsp Black pepper
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • ½ tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • First, preheat a medium oven to medium heat usually 375° F. Then rank a baking sheet to the oven with parchment paper.
  • Take a small-sized bowl and whisk an egg with 1 teaspoon of water. Water helps to thicken up the egg mixture.
  • Now, combine other ingredients like almond flour, salt, coconut, black pepper, smoked paprika, garlic powder, canine powder in another bowl. Mix them properly.
  • It's time to coat the chicken with flour and egg mixture. So, first, drop the chicken strips into the almond flour mixture and then dip in the egg mixture and seasonings.
  • Cover the tenders properly with the mixture. Check out pressing the tenders if they are perfectly covered.
  • Then spread a bit of flour to the chicken pieces and put them aside for a while.
  • Now it's cooking time. Fry the chicken for 15-17 minutes while keeping the internal temperature at 160° F. Continue frying until they make a crisp crust. 
  • Garnish the fried tenders by diffusing parsley. Serve warm with sauces and spices.
  • You can store them in the fridge and refry them to a toaster oven.
