There are many recipes available online to make your own at home. Everyone has their own favorite blend. Make the aioli ahead of time for best flavor.

Time 35m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

½ cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon preserved lemon, peel only, rinsed and minced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon preserved lemon brine (from jar)
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch crumbled saffron
2 egg whites, lightly beaten
½ cup dukkah
1 pound chicken tenderloins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Combine mayonnaise, lemon peel, garlic, lemon brine, cayenne pepper, and saffron in a mini food processor; blend until smooth, scraping down sides once or twice. Refrigerate aioli until ready to use.
  • Place egg whites into a dish or bowl. Place dukkah into a second dish. Dip chicken tenders first into egg whites, letting excess drip off, then coat with dukkah. Place tenders on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning over halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes total. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

The chicken was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll try adding some more spices next time.

I'm not a big fan of dukkah, but I thought this recipe was still pretty good. The chicken was well-seasoned and the aioli was delicious.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the chicken.
