Gluten-Free Chicken Tenders

Why are these chicken tenders healthy?

Most chicken tenders are deep fried in inflammatory oil, but this recipe doesn't require any oil because they are either oven baked or air fried!  Plus, it's made without grains, gluten, or processed sugar. The flour mixture is a blend of coconut flour, cassava flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.  The sauce is Whole30 approved, Paleo friendly, and sweetened with dates!

Cooking

Once the chicken is prepared, bake at 375 degrees for about 8-10 minutes on each side. I also like to broil them on high for 2 minutes at the end for an extra crispy outer coating!

Sauce

Let them cool for a few minutes, and then place the chicken tenders in a large bowl. Pour about ¼ cup of barbeque sauce or buffalo sauce into the bowl and mix together until they're completely covered.
