Ingredients

Scale

CHICKEN FINGERS

  • 2 pounds of chicken tenders (1216 total)
  • 3 eggs, beaten
  • 2 cups of 1:1 gluten-free flour
  • 3 teaspoons seasoning blend of choice
  • 3 cups gluten-free bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup avocado oil or ghee, divided

HOMEMADE HONEY MUSTARD

  • 1 cup homemade avocado mayo
  • 1/8 – 1/4 cup honey (local if possible)
  • 1/4 cup dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup yellow mustard
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt


Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 450℉ and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Set up a dredging station : one bowl with whisked eggs, and one with gluten-free flour, seasoning, and bread crumbs combined.
  3. Dip each chicken tender into the flour mixture, followed by the egg wash, then back into the flour mixture to coat thoroughly, pressing gently so the coating adheres.
  4. Place coated tenders on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes.
  5. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with 2 – 3 tablespoons of avocado oil or ghee (enough to coat the bottom of your skillet.
  6. Transfer baked chicken to the skillet and cook for 2 – 3 minutes per side, until golden brown and crisp.
  7. Work in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding the pan. Just be sure and add oil if needed to keep the bottom of the skillet coated.

Notes

  • Use any gluten-free breadcrumbs you love; texture may vary slightly by brand. 
  • Seasoning blends can be swapped based on preferences – simple salt and garlic powder work just as well. 
  • For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the skillet.
