Chestnut Free Paleo Almond Flour Chicken Tenders

Crispy, golden chicken tenders that actually deliver on crunch — all from the oven, no deep fryer required. The almond flour coating is seasoned with smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and a touch of cayenne, so every bite has real depth and a subtle kick. Setting the tenders on a wire rack while they bake means hot air circulates all the way around, giving you that satisfying crust without any flipping drama (well, just once). A drizzle of avocado oil over the top before they go in seals the deal on that gorgeous golden finish. There are no breadcrumbs, no fillers, and no tree nut ingredients beyond almond flour, making this a clean and straightforward choice for anyone navigating chestnut sensitivities or broader tree nut concerns — just double-check your almond flour brand if cross-contact is a factor for you. Squeeze a little lemon over the top before serving and these disappear fast, whether you're feeding kids, meal-prepping for the week, or just craving something seriously satisfying.
