Sweet and Spicy Paleo Chicken Fingers
Oct 11, 2024 12:35 PM
Craving chicken fingers but want them to be healthier or paleo? Consider this my specialty! Since I used to follow a paleo diet for years (and at the same time have a deep love for chicken tenders), I've perfected a recipe that delivers golden, sticky paleo chicken fingers every time! Plus, I've cracked the code on keeping that crispy crust intact.
We all have those moments when we crave comfort food, and nothing beats good old chicken fingers. But, sometimes, I crave that crispy goodness without the excess oil. That's where these babies come in – they're a healthier twist on everyone's favorite comfort food!
These guys have become a family favorite for us – they're sticky, sweet, and perfectly spiced. We've made them many times over the past few years and never seem to tire of them. Our kids love them as much as we do. I think the best part about them is that they taste like something that shouldn't be healthy (but they are)!
