“Fried” Chicken Tenders {Whole30} {Paleo}

When I saw this recipe on HappyWifeStyle’s instagram page, I was hesitant.  Surely fried chicken cannot be made with Whole30 compliant ingredients right??  WRONG.  This is knock your socks off good!  And SO easy.  I’ve made a few minor modifications shown below.  Enjoy!!
