Ingredients
  

For the Brine:

  • 1/2 cup buttermilk
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt

For the Tenders:

  • 2 pounds chicken tenders about 8 to 10 tenders
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 6 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 4 to 5 tablespoons oil for frying

Instructions
 

  • Remove the tendons in the tenders by pressing a fork down against the tender while you hold the tendon with your fingers. It should slide right out.
  • Place the tenders in a large mixing bowl. Cover with the buttermilk, paprika, and salt. Toss to coat the tenders. Cover and refrigerate a minimum of 3 hours, up to overnight.
  • In a pie plate, mix the almond flour, everything bagel seasoning, and garlic powder.
  • Roll each chicken tender in the breading. Press the breading onto the tender so that it is well coated.
  • In a nonstick skillet over medium high heat, heat up 2 to 3 tablespoons of oil until a water drop test sizzles.
  • Working in batches, fry the chicken tenders for 2 to 4 minutes per side. Do not disturb them until time to flip. Add more oil as needed to prevent burning.
  • Remove the cooked tenders to a plate and serve hot.
