KETO FRIED CHICKEN TENDERS CHICK-FIL-A COPYCAT RECIPE

I was craving Chick-Fil-A, which led me to wondering how does Chick-Fil-A make their chicken? Of course panko and chicken tenders aren't on my Keto diet menu!

But then of course I got the great idea to make a Keto version of Chick-Fil-A's Chicken tenders recipe using some keto diet basics, almond flour and Pork Panko (Pork rinds)

If you're wanting a new keto lunch idea these low carb fried chicken tenders are delicious and the Chick-Fil-A copycat sauce (keto version of course) is a obvious must try too.

I usually only want Chick-Fil-A on Sundays, of course the only day they aren't open!😜 But maybe that's for the best because their fried chicken is far from keto approved.

The really good news is that on a Keto diet there are really great substitutes for ingredients like flour and breadcrumbs, which are the main ingredients needed to make fried foods.

If you follow a Ketogenic Diet you probably already have almond flour in your pantry and if you don’t you should! I use Now Foods Raw Almond Flour it’s 100% pure, unblanched, gluten-free, and low in carbs, making it a healthy, and tasty alternative to bleached white flour. It’s a staple ingredient in a lot of keto desserts and other recipes too.

WHATS YOU NEED:

• 8 Chicken Tenders
• 24oz Jar of 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
• coconut oil for frying

HOW TO DO IT:

1. Put chicken tenders and pickle juice in a large zip lock bag and marinate for at least 1 hour (I left mine marinating over night)
2. In a small bowl, mix almond flour, salt and pepper
3. Create an assembly line of three bowls, one with almond flour mixture, the second with the eggs and the third with the pork panko
4. Dredge the Chicken in the almond flour mixture, then in the egg and finally in the pork panko until well coated
