Keto Fried Chicken Tenders Chick-Fil-A Copycat

-
This Keto Fried Chicken almond flour recipe will make the perfect Keto fried drumsticks, Keto fried chicken breast or low carb chicken tenders. Originally the recipe was intended to be pan-fried chicken tenders, but I discovered it’s also an easy Keto air fryer recipe too.

Don’t you always crave Chick-Fil-A on a Sunday? Which is probably for the best since Chick-Fil-A's fried chicken isn’t exactly on your low carb diet!

BUT now you can have this Keto version of Chick-Fil-A’s fried chicken tenders recipe anytime you want, even on Sundays! #lifechager


You just need some keto diet basics, almond flour and Pork Panko (Pork rinds) and pickle juice! Ok, pickle juice isn’t exactly a Keto pantry staple, but I’ll explain…

You’re craving the savory crunch of fried chicken.

But you don’t want to fall off your diet gorging at Chick-fil-A (or maybe it’s Sunday…).

What do you do?

Recreate the classic with this healthy recipe!

These Keto Chick-fil-A Style Fried Chicken Tenders swap breading for protein powder (really!) and peanut oil for avocado oil – so you get all of the flavor and none of the guilt.

And the secret to recreating Chick-fil-A’s magic? Marinating for hours in a jar of pickle juice.

You won’t believe how close to the real thing these are.

Just be sure to eat with heaping portions of your favorite dipping sauce. We loved these in good ol’ ranch, but you can try a keto honey mustard or your own copycat Chick-fil-A sauce.


Enjoy!

Ingredients

  • 8 chicken tenders
  • 24 oz jar of pickles (just the juice!)
  • 3/4 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp seasoned salt
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1.5 cups finely crushed pork rinds
  • coconut oil for frying

Instructions

  1. Combine chicken tenders and pickle juice in a large resealable bag and let it marinate for at least 1 hour (overnight is best!).
  2. In a small bowl, mix almond flour, salt and pepper.
  3. Gather three bowls and add the almond flour mixture to one, the eggs to another and the crushed pork rinds to the last one.
  4. Dredge the chicken in the almond flour mixture, then dip into the egg and finally roll to coat in the pork rinds.
  5. Heat two inches of coconut oil in a pan over medium/high heat. 
  6. When the oil is hot, add tenders and cook them in batches. Avoid overcrowding the pan so that the pieces of chicken are not be touching (this will affect texture). 
  7. Cook about five minutes per side or until golden brown.

The BEST Basic Pancake Recipe

-
Image
For years, I used a box mix to make pancakes. It was easy — just add water (and maybe an egg, depending on the fanciness of the mix) and pour the batter on the griddle. Then the internet came along and showed me that I could make pancakes from scratch and at a fraction of the cost of a mix. And, surprise! The pancakes actually taste better. First, we must master the basic pancake. And while whipping up a batch takes no time at all, there are some rules to pancake creation to make sure your pancakes turn out fluffy and delicious every time: Ingredients 2 c. all purpose flour 1 T. baking powder 3 T. white sugar 1/2 t. salt 2 eggs 1-1/2 c. milk 2 t. vanilla 1 T. butter, vegetable oil or coconut oil Instructions: Preheat a griddle. If you’re using an electric griddle, preheat to 350 degrees. In a mixing bowl add flour, baking powder, sugar and salt. Mix well. Make a well in the center of the flour mixture and add eggs, milk and vanilla. Stir to combine. Remember,
