Ingredients

Chicken:

  • 1 lb chicken boneless skinless
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • 1/2 tbsp parsley
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper

Buffalo sauce:

  • 1/3 cup hot sauce
  • 2 tbsp avocado oil
  • 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 400 F. Prepare a large baking sheet, line with parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl whisk together the egg with 2 tablespoons of water to make a egg wash. In a separate bowl, mix the almond meal, paprika, cayenne pepper, parsley, salt and pepper together.
  • Cut the chicken into tenders (you can buy them already pre-cut). Place a chicken tender in the egg wash, let drip off the excess. Then place the chicken tender in the almond flour mixture and coat liberally. Shake off, then place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all the chicken tender pieces.
  • Bake at 400 F 18 minutes flipping half way through. After 18 minutes, turn the broiler on high. Broil 4 minutes to make the chicken extra crispy.
  • While the chicken bakes, stir together the ingredients for the buffalo sauce. Serve immediately with chicken tenders.
