LOWCARB CHIPOTLE HONEY CHICKEN TENDERS

I’ve lost 100+lbs by making healthier versions of my favorite foods like these spicy, sticky, crispy chicken tenders.

To keep it lowcarb, I used almond flour breadcrumbs but you can use your favorite kind, pork rinds, or even regular breadcrumbs if you aren’t watching carbs closely. And I used a low sugar honey (but regular works too). Pop it in your air fryer to get nice and crispy, then toss in a spicy-sweet sauce you’ll want to drizzle on everything.

Full recipe below 👇

Chicken:

1 lb chicken tenders

1 cup low-carb breadcrumbs - I used Realphat but you can use pork rinds, cereal, or regular crumbs

2 eggs

1 tsp chipotle powder

Salt & pepper

Sauce:

1/4 cup low sugar or regular honey

2-3 tbsp canned adobo sauce

Juice of half a lime

1/2 tsp chipotle powder

1/2 tsp garlic powder


Here is how I made it:

1. Whisk eggs in a bowl. In another bowl, mix the realphat breadcrumbs, paprika, salt & pepper.

2. Dip chicken tenders in egg, then breadcrumbs.

3. Air-fry 12 mins, flip, then 3–5 more mins until golden (165°F inside temp).

4. Combine all sauce ingredients and simmer on low heat for just a minute while stirring. Toss or spoon over tenders.

5. Top with sesame seeds + dip in your favourite sauce. You can dip these in ranch or blue cheese.
