Ingredients

1 lb chicken tenders
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup almond flour
½ teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon pepper
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon celery salt
¼ teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon ground mustard
¼ teaspoon oregano
¼ teaspoon baking powder
Avocado oil or olive oil spray

Instructions

Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken tenders dry and set them aside.
In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
In another shallow bowl, combine the almond flour with all the spices and baking powder.
Dip each chicken tender into the egg wash, then coat it with the almond flour mixture, ensuring all sides are covered.
Place the coated chicken tenders into the air fryer basket in a single layer (you may need to cook in batches).
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken tenders with oil. Set the timer for 12 minutes.
Flip the tenders after 6 minutes and spray the other side lightly with oil.
Continue coating and cooking the remaining tenders. Serve with your favorite dipping sauce.
