KETO BAKED CHICKEN TENDERS

These baked chicken tenders are crispy, full of flavor and SO easy to make! Dinner is ready in less than 30 minutes and everyone will be happy! Gluten-Free, Paleo, Low Carb


We cracked the code to make these delicious keto chicken tenders (also known as chicken fingers, chicken goujons, or chicken strips). They are perfect for a snack or for a full lunch.
This mouthwatering low carb fried chicken will make your friends and family love you. They won’t even know that it’s low carb.

When I made these I made a non-spicy version for my nephew and a spicy version for the adults, so I’ve included both below.



Both versions got demolished by the family and they loved how easy they were to whip up, it’s basically a homemade shake and bake version for chicken fingers!  I have a feeling this one is going to become a regular on our meal rotation!

  2. Add chicken tenders to a large ziplock bag.

  4. Pour seasonings over chicken into the large bag. 
  5. Seal the large bag shut and shake till all the chicken is well coated.  
  6. 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.)3. 
  7. Lightly coat chicken with cooking spray.  
  8. Bake at 450F for 25 minutes or until done, turning after 25 minutes.
