Preparing Your Chicken

• Cut your raw chicken breasts and/or tenders into 1/2-inch thick strips and set aside. The length doesn't matter but try to keep the thickness as uniform as possible for even cooking.
  
• Make your seasoning mix, by mixing the salt and spices in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Line one or two metal baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut a few extra pieces of parchment paper, the same size as the baking sheet. Set aside.

Dredging Your Chicken

• Using three shallow dishes, assemble your dredging station.

  Dish 1: Add your arrowroot flour and 1 tbsp of the seasoning mix, and combine.

  Dish 2: Add your eggs and mix the yolks and whites together using a fork.

  Dish 3: Add your almond flour and remaining seasoning mix, and combine.
  
• Coat your chicken tenders using the following method:

  1. Take a chicken tender and coat both sides with the arrowroot flour mix.

  2. Place the flour-coated tender into the egg mixture and coat both sides completely.

  3. Place the egg-coated tender in the almond flour mixture and coat both sides, pressing it in until entirely coated and no egg or chicken is visible.

  4. Place the fully coated chicken tender on your prepared baking sheet. Repeat this until all the raw chicken is coated.
  

Freezer Instructions

• Take the baking sheet lined with your breaded chicken tenders and place them in the freezer to flash freeze for 2 hours. This will ensure the coating remains intact while air frying and prevent them from sticking to each other when storing them in the freezer.
  
• After 2 hours, remove them from the baking sheet and store them in a resealable freezer bag. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Oven-Baking Instructions

• To oven bake from frozen: Preheat your oven to 350F.

  - Line a metal baking sheet with parchment paper and add your frozen chicken tenders. If using stoneware or a pizza stone (which is recommended for added crunch), there's no need to use parchment paper.

  - Bake for 23 to 25 minutes, until they are lightly browned, have a little bit of juice coming out on the breading and have an internal temperature of 155F.

Air-Frier Instructions

• To air-fry from frozen: Preheat your air fryer to 325F.

  - Once preheated, place your frozen chicken tenders in the wire basket that comes with your air fryer. There’s no need to spray with additional oil because of the natural oils in the almond flour. Air fry for 14 minutes, or until you can see the edges begin to brown and the internal temperature reaches 155F.
