Instructions
Combine the coconut flour, arrowroot flour, sea salt, garlic powder, onion powder, turmeric, ground ginger, cinnamon, ground cloves, and ground mace in a bowl. Mix well.
Pat the chicken tenders dry with paper towels. Dredge each tender in the spice mix, ensuring they are evenly coated. Let sit, then dredge again to fully coat.
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F.
Lightly spray the air fryer basket with avocado oil spray. Place the coated chicken tenders in the basket in a single layer, making sure they do not overlap. You may need to cook in batches depending on the size of your air fryer.
Cook the chicken tenders at 400°F for 10-12 minutes, flipping them halfway through, until they are golden brown and fully cooked. The internal temperature should reach 165°F.
While the tenders are cooking, in a small bowl, whisk together the avocado oil, coconut aminos, apple cider vinegar, ground turmeric, ground ginger, garlic powder, onion powder, ground cloves, and ground mace until well combined.
Once the chicken tenders are done cooking, place them in a large bowl. Pour the spicy coating mixture over the tenders and toss until they are evenly coated.
Transfer the chicken tenders to a serving plate. Serve hot and enjoy!
