Directions

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees.
Pat your chicken cubes dry with a paper towel and them set aside. Cover a sheet pan with foil and grease it with cooking spray (I like avocado spray best).
Mix 2 tbsp buffalo sauce and one whisked egg together in one bowl. In another bowl mix almond flour, garlic powder, cayenne, paprika, salt and pepper together.
One nugget at a time- dip in egg mixture, then right into the almond flour mixture. Be sure the chicken nugget is completely covered in almond flour and place on your sheet pan. Repeat until all of the nuggets are coated.
Put the nuggets in the oven and cook for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy.
Serve with some extra buffalo sauce and ranch. Enjoy!

Recipe Note

1. To get the nuggets slightly crispy- be sure to pat your chicken dry before coating it in the egg wash and almond flour.

2. If you use The New Primal Buffalo Sauce like I did- you can choose from mild to hot so it pleases everyone.

3. You can make these in the air fryer or the oven. For a big batch, I prefer the oven!

4. If your kids don’t like spice, just dip theirs in a plain egg.
