Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound chicken breast tenders
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 0.5 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 eggs
- 0.5 cup compliant hot sauce
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow dish, combine coconut flour, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
Dip each chicken tender first into the beaten egg, allowing excess to drip off, and then coat completely in the flour mixture. Press the mixture onto the chicken to ensure it sticks well.
Place the coated tenders onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat with all chicken tenders.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is fully cooked and the coating is golden brown.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the buffalo sauce by melting ghee in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, whisk in the hot sauce and remove from heat.
Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the oven and brush each tender generously with the buffalo sauce.
Optional: garnish with fresh parsley.
Serve immediately for a hot and spicy Whole30 compliant meal!
