Ingredients
Spicy Version
1 lbs chicken tenders I get mine from ButcherBox
1 cup almond MEAL not flour
1 tsp salt
½ tsp cayenne pepper
½ tsp ground white pepper
¼ tsp ground cumin

Non Spicy Version
1 lbs chicken tenders I get mine from Butcher Box
1 cup almond MEAL not flour
1.5 tsp salt
1/4 tsp ground white pepper
¼ tsp ground cumin

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 450F1. Preheat oven to 450F2. 
  • Add chicken tenders to a large ziplock bag.  
  • Combine 1 cup almond meal and seasonings in a small bag or bowl. 
  • Pour seasonings over chicken into the large bag. 
  • Seal the large bag shut and shake till all the chicken is well coated.  
  • Lightly shake off excess coating and place on a lightly sprayed parchment lined baking sheet.  
  • If you want crispier tenders you can set them on an oven-safe cooling rack.  (I have done this in the past but usually, I skip it because it’s just something else to wash.)
  • Lightly coat chicken with cooking spray.  
  • Bake at 450F for 25 minutes or until done, turning after 25 minutes.
