Ingredients
Method
- Pat all of the chicken tenders dry with some paper towels.
- On one plate, place 1 cup of almond flour.
- To the almond flour, add in the paprika, chili powder, cumin, garlic powder, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir to distribute the herbs and spices throughout the almond flour.
- In a shallow bowl add ½ cup of heavy whipping cream to 1 beaten egg. Mix to combine them well.
- On a separate plate, place 1 cup of finely crushed pork rinds. You can use a food processor to crush the pork rinds into crumbs, or you can place them into a Ziploc bag, and use a rolling pin to crush them.
- Dip each chicken tender into the flour mixture on both sides.
- Continue by dipping the chicken tenders into the cream and egg mixture.
- Finally, roll the chicken tenders into the crushed pork rind crumbs.
- Heat up several inches of coconut or avocado oil in a large skillet. Use a thermometer to heat the oil to 350 degrees.
- Place the chicken tenders into the oil 3 pieces at a time. Rotate them with some tongs halfway through cooking, maintaining the oil temperature at 325-350 degrees. Cook the tenders until the chicken is cooked through and they are browned and crispy.
- Repeat step 10 until all of the chicken tenders have been cooked.
- Serve with your favorite dipping sauces.
