Measuring Spoons
Ingredients
- 1 pound (453.59 g) chicken tenderloins
- 1 (1 ) Eggs
- 1/2 cup (56 g) Superfine Almond Flour
- 1/2 cup (50 g) powdered Parmesan cheese, (the cheap stuff in the green can)
- 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 teaspoon) Kosher Salt
- 1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon (1/2 teaspoon) Cajun seasoning, or cayenne, or chili powder
Instructions
-
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.
