Paleo "KFC" Chicken Tenders

Paleo "KFC" Chicken Tenders 

These are seriously going to change your life....delicious (better than KFC, but same consistency/flavor), gluten free, egg free and baked...NOT fried....unbelievable! 

 

 

Ingredients

• 1 lb Chicken Thighs, cut into strips

Wet mixture
• 1/4 cup hot sauce (I use Franks Original Hot Sauce)
• 5 Tbs Butter (Dairy or Nondairy)
• 1 Tbs Starch (Tapioca, Arrowroot or Potato Starch)
• 5 Tbs Milk (Dairy or Nondairy)

Breading
• 1/2 Cup Tapioca (Or Arrowroot or Potato Starch)
• 1/2 Cup Blanched Almond Flour
• 1 tsp Black Pepper
• 1/2 tsp Salt

 

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
2. In a microwave safe bowl combine wet mixture ingredients and heat until thickened in the microwave (1-2 minutes) or on the stove top in a sauce pan. If using the microwave whisk liberally as soon as you remove the bowl. If using the sauce pan- whisk continually while it thickens.
3. In another bowl combine breading ingredients.
4. Drop chicken strips into wet mixture and then heavily dredge in breading mixture; place on foil lined baking sheet. Repeat until all chicken strips have been coated. Drizzle chicken with a little oil.
5. Place chicken in oven for 35-40 minutes; chicken will be golden brown and cooked through!

Notes:

To make this recipe NUT FREE- use homemade Sunflower Seed Flour instead of the Almond!
