Brazil Nut Free Paleo Almond Flour Chicken Tenders

Crispy, golden chicken tenders that happen to be completely grain-free — this oven-baked version delivers serious crunch without a single breadcrumb in sight. The almond flour coating is seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a hit of cayenne for a flavor-packed crust that clings beautifully to each piece. Setting the tenders on a wire rack while they bake means hot air circulates all the way around, so you get that satisfying crispiness on every side without deep frying. A drizzle of avocado oil over the top before they go into the oven is the small step that takes the coating from pale to deeply golden. For anyone navigating tree nut concerns, it's worth noting that almond flour is the only nut-derived ingredient here — no brazil nuts, no mixed nut blends, no mystery coatings. The ingredient list is short, straightforward, and easy to verify, which makes the whole process feel refreshingly low-stress. Squeeze a little lemon over the top right before serving and these disappear fast.
