- Dip 3 ounces chicken tenders in the flour, then the cream and finally coat with protein powder.3 ounces chicken tenders
- Fill a deep pan with about 2 cups avocado oil for frying. You want enough oil for the chicken to "swim" in it. If there's not enough oil, your chicken will make direct contact with the pan and may burn. Use medium-high heat.2 cups avocado oil
- Gently drop the chicken into the hot oil. Make sure that as you drop the chicken, you are dropping it away from you to prevent hot oil from splashing back at you. Once you drop the chicken into the hot oil, do not touch it at all for 2 to 3 mins. This will allow time for the breading to fry, which will help it keep its shape and prevent it from falling apart.
- Make sure that the internal temperature of the chicken is 165 degrees.
