KETO CHICKEN STRIPS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix pork rinds, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, sea salt, thyme, and basil together in a large bowl. Place melted butter in a separate bowl.
• Cut each chicken breast into 3/4-inch thick strips - about 5 strips per breast. Dip each strip into melted butter and coat with pork rind breading. Place coated chicken strips on the prepared baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut chicken into strips (about 3 tenders per chicken breast). If they are thick. slice them in half first. I don't like to pound the meat (See post). Season with a little salt and black pepper. Do this first so the salt can soak in and sort of "dry brine" the meat. It will be juicier.
• Arrange three bowls - one with beaten eggs, one with coconut flour, and one with a mixture of coconut flakes, garlic powder, smoked paprika.
• Pour olive oil into a large frying pan and set the flame to medium.
• Dredge each chicken tender in the coconut flour, dip in the egg mixture, roll in the coconut flakes and immediately place in frying pan. Don't overcrowd the pan. Do in batches if needed. (See post tips if you have never fried chicken). Fry each side 3-5 minutes before flipping with tongs or a fork.
• Serve with your sauce of choice.

KETO CHICKEN TENDERS | AIR FRYER CHICKEN TENDERLOINS

Steps:

• In a small, relatively flat bowl, beat the egg.
• In a ziptop bag, mix the almond flour, cheese, salt, pepper, and seasoning.
• Get a paper plate or dinner plate ready.
• Spray your air fryer basket with oil.
• Dip each tender in the egg and place on the plate until all the tenders have been dipped. Don't try to dip it in the breading or else you'll have messy hands and clumps in the breading. Just line up the eggy tenders until they're all ready.
• Now use a fork to pick up one tender at a time. Put that in the zip top bag and shake that bag like you mean it. Ensure the tenders are well covered in the almond mixture.
• Do NOT dip in egg and breading again. Tried it. Hugely messy and less tasty.
• Use the fork to pull out that tender and place it in your air fryer basket.
• Spray the tenders with oil.
• Cook at 350F for 12 minutes or until the inside registers 160F. Raise temperature to 400F for 3 minutes to brown the crust.
• Serve with Big Mac sauce. You can find the recipe to the sauce in my Keto Big Mac Salad recipe.

GRILLED KETO CHICKEN TENDERS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, add the vinegar, dijon, pesto, garlic, sweetener, salt and pepper. Whisk to combine.
• Add the chicken tenderloins, cover and chill for at least 2 hours, up to 6 hours. After the chicken is done marinading, take the chicken out of the marinade and let come to room temperature, about 20 minutes. Add the remaining marinade to a small saucepan and bring to a boil, boil for 1 minute, take off the heat.
• Heat the grill to high and prepare it for cooking. Lower the heat to medium, place the chicken directly on the grates, brush with the leftover marinate every 30 seconds or so. Turn occasionally until cooked through, about 3-5 minutes per side. They are ready when the internal temperature reaches 165°F. Make sure to use all the marinade up while the chicken is on the grill, this makes it extra flavorful!

KETO CHICKEN STRIPS

• Dry your chicken strips with a paper towel
• Dip your chicken strips into the egg, then roll in the breading mixture
• Place the chicken into your heavy bottom pan with preheated oil. Turn the chicken as it browns.
• Once chicken has reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees its done. More to a rack to allow any excess oil to drip off.
• Serve while hot!

CHILI LIME KETO CHICKEN STRIPS (LOW CARB, GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Add chicken to the bowl, I used about 5 or 6 pieces. To create the brine its simply lime juice and salt. About a half of a teaspoon of salt and enough lime juice to coat the chicken.
• Chicken should sit in brine for a few hours, I'd say 2-3 at the least.
• Create the Takis chili lime seasoning with 1TB of Mexican chili powder, 1TB of onion powder, 1 tsp of salt, and 2 tsp of cayenne pepper.
• Crush pork rinds either in food processor or with your hands by crushing in a bag. With the amount of seasoning you made about 1oz or 1/2 cup should be the perfect ratio.
• Whisk 1 egg
• Pull brined chicken out of fridge and begin to coat chicken
• Out of the brine coat chicken with crusted seasoning, then into egg wash, after that back into your crust. Coat well then set each piece aside until finished.
• At this point you have the option to freeze or to cook. Personally it doesn't matter the frozen chicken will hold better while cooking but both with eat the same. One doesn't taste better it's just a matter of presentation..
• I chose lard to fry because chicken and lard just go together so well. Plus coconut oil reaches it's smoking point super fast. But I put on medium heat and cooked until they got a little darker. With the seasonings and pork rinds you want to watch and avoid burning. If anything turning often will help.
• For those that didn't freeze your chicken should be done when finished frying if you used a similar cut as mine. For those that chose freezing first. Put into a oven at 350 degrees for about 15 to 20 minutes. Keep a eye on it because if you leave into long the crust due to the oil will begin to seperate itself from the chicken.
• Enjoy

KETO AIR FRYER CHICKEN TENDERS RECIPE

• Preheat the air fryer to 400 F (200 C).
