KETO FRIED CHICKEN TENDERS CHICK-FIL-A COPYCAT
Friday, October 26, 2018
I was craving Chick-Fil-A, which led me to wondering how does Chick-Fil-A make their chicken? Of course panko and chicken tenders aren't on my Keto diet menu!
But then of course I got the great idea to make a Keto version of Chick-Fil-A's Chicken tenders recipe using some keto diet basics, almond flour and Pork Panko (Pork rinds)
If you're wanting a new keto lunch idea these low carb fried chicken tenders are delicious and the Chick-Fil-A copycat sauce (keto version of course) is a obvious must try too.
The really good news is that on a Keto diet there are really great substitutes for ingredients like flour and breadcrumbs, which are the main ingredients needed to make fried foods.
