These tasty little Keto Oven Baked Chicken Tenders stay really nice and moist if cooked until JUST done, so keep on eye on them.
Look at that moist, flakey chicken.
You could also just have these as is, as they have plenty of flavour going on anyway but everyone loves dipping chicken in sauces, am I right?
Paprika is the hero spice here. I usually use plain paprika, but have also used sweet and smokey paprika for these keto oven baked chicken tenders to add some extra flavour, and they were REALLY yum.
Tips for making Keto Oven Baked Chicken Tenders With Parmesan Mayonnaise
Here’s the step-by-step cooking instruction
- Preheat the oven to 200C / 392F and line a baking tray with baking paper and spray with cooking spray.
- Combine the almond flour with spices on a plate and mix to combine thoroughly. In a separate flat bowl, whisk the egg with 1 tablespoon of water until well combined.
- Dip each chicken tender in egg, and then into the spiced almond flour mixture, ensuring even coverage. Lay each chicken tender on the baking tray with the thinner ends facing the centre of the tray.
- Spray the top of the chicken with olive oil cooking spray and bake for 25 – 30 minutes, flipping after 15 minutes and spraying again with cooking spray to help them crisp up.
- Meanwhile, combine the mayonnaise with spices and parmesan cheese and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Not sure how to start Keto?
Here’s some resources to help you!
Is this Celsius?
Yes always celsius on Australian recipes 🙂
These are amazing, thank you!!
I turned half of them into mini chicken parmas and even my bf (who isn’t doing keto) loved! 🙂
Does the nutrition facts are for both or only the strips? I dont like the idea of parmeasn mayo
Yes the nutrition facts include the mayo, that’s fine to leave it out
I don’t have an oil sprayer. Would brushing on have the same effect?
Hi Liz! Spraying on the oil after the chicken is coated helps it get a bit more crispy. I don’t think brushing on would work as it would dislodge the crumbing. I’d just leave it out altogether.
Hi Kristen, everything is in celsius and metric measurements as thats what we use 🙂
It would have been nice had you put the correct us temperature . Maybe put conversion button on your website as others have done recently for measurements. Little angry wasted time chicken just greasy not cooked after 20 minutes.
hi Charlotte. This is an Australian website, and the Australia along with the rest of the world use metric and Celsius, so the temperature is correct.
I wish I had the time to go through every recipe and provide imperial measurements as well but unfortunately I don’t.
I was wondering if you had the nutritional information for the chicken without the parm mayo. Thank you.
Hi Tim, I put the info into myfitness pal (not perfect but good as a guide) and it came up with: 5g Fat, 1g net carbs and 41g protein per serve. Total recipe serves 4.
Hi Rachel. Great recipe! I have been using home made keto aoli instead of the parmesan mayo. Another quick dipping sauce to try for anyone else who is reading this comment is just to mix half a teaspoon of curry powder in to 1/2 cup of mayo.. after mixing it, let it sit a few minutes before tasting (it gets a little stronger after waiting a couple of minutes).. Adjust to taste
Just a quick comment for the yanks.. it’s easy to type in “200c to f” in google.. it will do the work for you. That is what we have to do all the time for American recipes,
Hi Mick, those sauce options sound delicious! I do love a good aoli. The curry mayo sounds like it would be delicious with all sorts of things, maybe some indian spiced meatballs?
I think my most googled thing is “375f to c” haha 🙂
