Time 1h45m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 14

2 cups milk
2 tablespoons white vinegar
2 pounds chicken breast tenderloins
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
1 cup coconut
¾ cup almond flour
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
½ teaspoon chili powder
½ cup coconut oil, or more as needed

Steps:

  • Combine milk and vinegar in a bowl. Add tenderloins. Place in the refrigerator to soak for 1 to 2 hours.
  • While chicken soaks, prepare egg coating by whisking together eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
  • Prepare dry coating by pulsing coconut in the bowl of a food processor until it resembles large bread crumbs. Add almond flour, all-purpose flour, sugar, 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper, and chili powder. Pulse to combine.
  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Remove chicken from milk mixture; discard mixture.
  • Dip each chicken tender in the egg mixture, then in the coconut coating, pressing generous amounts into the meat.
  • Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Gently drop coated chicken into the hot oil and fry until golden and no longer pink in the centers, working in batches, about 6 minutes per side. Place fried pieces in the oven to keep warm between batches.
