Ingredients
- 12 pieces chicken tenderloins
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 pieces eggs, large
- 0.25 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup buffalo sauce
- 0 olive oil or avocado oil spray
- 0 ranch or blue cheese dressing (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Lightly spray it with olive oil or avocado oil.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix together the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 4
Dip each chicken tenderloin into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, transfer to the almond flour mixture, pressing down to ensure a good coating on all sides.
Step 5
Place the coated chicken tenders onto the prepared baking sheet.
Step 6
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken tenders with the olive oil or avocado oil spray, to help them crisp up during baking.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crisp.
Step 8
While the chicken tenders are baking, melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat, or in the microwave, and then whisk in the buffalo sauce until fully combined.
Step 9
Once the chicken tenders are cooked, remove them from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Then, using a brush or by tossing, coat each tender evenly with the buffalo sauce mixture.
Step 10
Serve the keto buffalo chicken tenders hot, with optional ranch or blue cheese dressing on the side for dipping.
