  • Dip each chicken tender in the arrowroot mixture and shake off any excess. Then dip into the egg wash, then dip into the almond flour and coconut flakes, pressing down and covering all areas to ensure a nice coating. Lay onto wire rack to rest while you heat your oil.
  • Heat your skillet to medium high and add your avocado oil. Once the oil is hot, place chicken down into the oil and cook 2-3 minutes each side or until the thickest part of the tender reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit. Immediately season with a pinch of salt .
