Can I Make Chick-fil-A Chicken Strips AT HOME but BETTER (& Carnivore)?
In a Nutshell
Chick-fil-A chicken products contain over 30 harmful chemicals like dimethylpolysiloxane (silicone from breast implants), MSG (addictive), seed oils (inflammatory), and sodium aluminum phosphate (aluminum-linked to neurological damage), far from clean eating. Make superior carnivore chicken tenders at home with just three ingredients: chicken tenders soaked in cultured low-fat buttermilk, coated in crushed pork rinds (chicharrones), and fried in grass-fed beef tallow for crispy, chemical-free results at lower cost. Bonus: Carnivore "potato salad" (egg-bacon-cheese mayo mix that mimics and surpasses real potato salad) and creamy blue cheese dipping sauce, both ultra-clean and crave-worthy.

Oh, that's going to be so good. In today's video, I'm going to expose Chick-fil-A dimethylpolysiloxane. That's silicone, the thing used in breast implants. You are eating the same chemical. We're going to do carnivore chicken tenders with three ingredients. Carnivore potato salad. I'm cheating on carnivore. I don't feel right. This just feels wrong.
Chick-fil-A's breaded chicken, whether sandwich or chicken fingers, is chocked with over 30 ingredients. I don't even like to call them ingredients. It's more like chemicals. It's a science experiment, and they're experimenting on you. Today, I'm going to expose Chick-fil-A and show how to do a clean version at home: carnivore chicken tenders with three ingredients, super clean.
Why is this important? Eating science experiment chemicals in chicken affects you. I'm going to show why Chick-fil-A is bad, but not just Chick-fil-A. This applies to Raising Cane's, KFC, any breaded chicken. I'll show how to make a better version at a fraction of the cost of eating out. Super clean for carnivore, keto, or healthier eating without 36 science experiment chemicals.
Stay tuned till the end for two surprises: carnivore potato salad (no potatoes, tastes better, super clean), and an incredible clean dipping sauce. What good is a crusty, crispy chicken finger without dipping sauce?
Do you think Chick-fil-A is healthier than other fast food places? I would think so.
If you learn some products at Chick-fil-A are misleading, like grilled chicken nuggets (30 ingredients, not just grilled chicken), would that surprise you? That would surprise me.
Over 30 ingredients overload your liver; collective human liver is clogged and fatty, precursor to diseases. Chick-fil-A nuggets ingredients (similar for sandwich, which has more due to bun, seed oils, sauces): 22 ingredients listed. Chicken should be chicken, breading, oil—three ingredients, like grandma made.
Look for: number of ingredients, sugar variations (sugar has 100 names to trick you), seed oils (highly inflammatory, e.g., soybean oil, peanut oil), MSG or variations, unpronounceable ingredients (chemical concoctions), natural flavor (hides chemicals).
- MSG in seasoning: engineered addiction, overrides brain's full signal, perpetuates addiction. Why you crave more Chick-fil-A—keeps you hooked at expense of liver, insulin resistance, inflammation.
- Dimethylpolysiloxane: industrial silicone used in Silly Putty, caulk, breast implants. Added to oil to reduce foaming—goes in your body.
- Sodium aluminum phosphate: in breading to make golden and puffy. Aluminum accumulates in tissue, linked to neurological damage, cognitive decline, found in Alzheimer's brains. No need for aluminum in chicken.
- Enriched bleached flour: chemically bleached, strips nutrients, synthetically adds vitamins back. Explains why pasta in Italy is fine but America sickens—due to these ingredients.
Before homemade clean chicken strips, sponsor Beast Mode Soap: grass-fed beef tallow soap, forest ash scent, smells incredible, clean. What you put on body (washing hands/body) enters bloodstream—like clean chicken for body.

Three ingredients for chicken sandwich, strips, fingers, or fish: 1) chicken (tenders soaked overnight in buttermilk), 2) cultured low-fat buttermilk, 3) chicharrones (pork rinds, e.g., Bucky Badger brand from Wisconsin), crushed into breading.
Need: cast iron skillet, beef tallow (100% pure grass-fed, grass-finished, fully rendered; reusable—sift chunks, store in glass jar). Links in description for Amazon tallow, kitchen gadgets. Chicken to 165°F, but small tenders take couple minutes, brown and crispy.
22 oz family pack is standard American diet family size, but individual carnivore serving—one meal.
Crush pork rinds in Ziploc bag for breading.
Blue cheese cream sauce from Courtney Luna's Carnivore in the Kitchen (page 216): heavy cream, crumbled blue cheese. Half cup heavy cream on low-medium to warm, add blue cheese (not all, some for garnish). Whisk to thicken.
For carnivore mayo/potato salad base: cream cheese, butter (eyeball quantities), soften in bag under hot water, cut corner like frosting. Add egg, sour cream (eyeball), bacon grease. Could use as chicken dipping sauce alone.
Cut bacon chunks for potato salad, start in air fryer.
Chicken tenders soaked overnight in buttermilk, coat in fine pork rind breading. Fry in beef tallow, flip when ready, brown crispy.
Carnivore potato salad (egg salad): chilled mayo base (put in freezer), hard-boiled eggs, thick-cut bacon (some separate for no-bacon version), optional bacon grease, cheese, pickles. Mixes like potato salad.
Carnivore potato salad looks just like potato salad, tastes better than restaurant version with eggs (favorite pre-carnivore). Feels like cheating on carnivore—will do weekly.
Chicken tenders crunch test with Courtney Luna creamy blue cheese sauce (thick, tangy): legit crunch, not manufactured. Doesn't taste greasy pork rinds—incredible, crunchy, delicious. Non-carnivores wouldn't know.
Emma tastes potato salad: 11 out of 10, a million out of 10.
I feel guilty eating this on carnivore.
This sauce is incredible. I'm the only one in my family that likes blue cheese.
