minutesIngredients
1 lb chicken tenders (about 4 chicken breasts cut into strips)
1/4 cup avocado oil
10 oz plantain chips, pulsed into crumbs (about 2 cups)
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 tsp paprika (optional, omit for AIP)
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
Sweet and Sour Dipping Sauce
1/4 cup coconut aminos
3 TBSP apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup + 2 tbsp unsweetened pineapple juice
2 TBSP tomato sauce (or nomato sauce for AIP)
3 TBSP coconut sugar
1/2 tsp sea salt
1 TBSP arrowroot starch + 1 TBSP water
Directions
- To a large bowl, add pulsed plantain chip crumbs, salt, paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Mix well to combine.
- Add 1/3 of the gluten-free breading to a plate or shallow bowl.*
- Add the avocado oil to a shallow bowl.
- Lightly dredge one tender in the oil, shaking off excess oil.
- Dip the tender into the breading, applying gentle pressure to ensure crumbs stick to the chicken. Coat all sides with the crumbs.
- Set aside on the wire rack (if oven-baking) or on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet or plate (if air frying).
- Repeat the steps with the remaining chicken tenders, using up the remaining 2/3 of the gluten-free breading as you go.
- Oven Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and place an oven-proof wire rack on top.
- Place the prepared chicken tenders on top of the wire rack, spacing them out so they aren’t crowded on the rack.
- Place in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 13-14 minutes, until golden brown and crisp, and internal temperature reads 165F. No flipping needed.
