  Cooking time will vary depending on air fryer make & model and the size of the chicken tender. This is the preferred method for cooking. The crispiest, juiciest keto chicken strips are made in an air fryer. Using an air fryer to cook these chicken strips creates a crispy outer crust and moist interior.

  8Stovetop instructionsFill a skillet with 2 cm of avocado oil and heat over medium heat. Once oil ripples as you turn the skillet, you are ready to add your chicken strips. Working in batches, add breaded chicken tenders to the hot oil and fry for 3-5 minutes on each side until chicken is cooked through. Remove and let sit on a plate with a paper towel.Quick Tip
  Shake the skillet after you first put the battered chicken tenders in the skillet. This will allow the hot oil to spill over the top and sides of the chicken strip creating a crispy crust.
• STEP 9 :Oven instructionsAdd breaded chicken tenders to a baking tray lined with foil or parchment paper. Coat the top of the chicken strips with spray oil to help keep the strips moist as they bake. Bake at 400 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.
