What you'll need

Instructions

  1. Make the dipping sauce: whisk together the avocado oil mayonnaise, ketchup, coconut aminos, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, and cracked black pepper. Refrigerate while the chicken cooks.
  2. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a shallow bowl, whisk together organic eggs and a pinch of salt.
  4. In a separate shallow dish, combine almond flour, pulsed oats, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
  5. Dip each chicken strip into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated, then roll in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to ensure an even coating.
  6. Arrange the coated strips on the baking sheet, ensuring they aren't touching, and drizzle with the 2 tbsp avocado oil.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, flipping the strips halfway through, until golden brown and reaching an internal temperature of 165°F.
  8. Serve the chicken fingers hot with the chilled dipping sauce.

FAQ

Can I use regular oats instead of pulsing them?

Yes, you can, but pulsing the oats will make them into a fine flour-like texture which is better for achieving crispy coating on your chicken fingers.

Is it necessary to slice the chicken breast very thinly?

Slicing the chicken tenders evenly helps in cooking and ensures consistent crispiness and flavor distribution across all pieces.
