Get Ready to Coat:
In a shallow bowl, mix together the crushed pork rinds, almond flour, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Give it a good stir, then add a pinch of salt and pepper.
In another shallow bowl, whisk the egg and water until well combined.
Coat the Chicken:
Dip each chicken tender into the egg wash, letting any extra drip off. Then, roll it in the pork rind mixture, making sure it's fully covered. Gently shake off any loose crumbs. Place the coated tenders on a tray lined with waxed paper and repeat for all the chicken.
Cook Them Up (Air Fryer Method):
Preheat your air fryer to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease the air fryer racks.
Arrange the coated chicken tenders on the racks, leaving a little space between each one for even cooking. You might need to cook them in batches.
Air fry for 8 to 10 minutes, flipping them over halfway through. They're ready when they're crispy and reach an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Take them out and set them on a wire rack over a baking sheet.
Make the Zesty Hot Honey Sauce:
While the chicken is cooking, combine the allulose honey, butter, and hot sauce in a small saucepan. Heat it over medium heat, bringing it to a gentle simmer. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring often, until it's nicely blended and slightly thickened.
Serve It Hot:
Drizzle the delicious hot honey sauce generously over your crispy chicken tenders and serve immediately!

Oven Baked Option: Prepare tenders as above. Bake at 425°F (218°C) for 18-22 minutes, flipping once, until cooked through. Drizzle with sauce.
