Instructions

For the Half and Half Air Fryer Chicken Tenders: 

  1. Sift your all purpose flour into a bowl. This step is not necessary, it just helps break up any potential clumps. Next, add in your almond flour, salt and pepper and mix well to combine all. Transfer to a plate.
  2. In the same bowl you used for the flour or another bowl, add your Italian seasoned bread crumbs and your gluten free bread crumbs. Mix well and transfer to another plate.
  3. Whisk your 4 eggs in a bowl and transfer to a plate.
  4. To begin coating your chicken tenders start by coating them completely in the flour mixture, then drenching them in the whisked eggs, then coating them in the bread crumb mixture. Place on a separate plate or cutting board. Continue this process until all of your tenders are coated.
  5. Preheat your air fryer at 400 degrees.
  6. When done preheating, spray the bottom of your air fryer with non-stick spray. Add 4-5 tenders to your air fryer basket and then spray the tops with olive oil spray. Air fry your chicken tenders at 400 degrees for 10 minutes. Make sure to flip them over at the halfway point and then spray the tops again with your non-stick or olive oil spray.
  7. Serve immediately with the truffalo and Greek honey mustard dipping sauces. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge.
  8. ENJOY!
