With a little creativity, a good recipe doesn’t have to sacrifice flavor to accommodate eating Keto. Pork rind crumbs are an excellent alternative to traditional breading. They’re found at most grocery stores and pre-crushed ones can be purchased online. These chicken tenders are flavorful baked until the crust is crunchy and golden brown. It’s a recipe the entire family will love. If you want a quick Keto-friendly dipping sauce, give our Homemade Ranch Dressing a try.

How to Make Keto Chicken Tenders
- Rinse and pat the chicken tenders dry. Pre-heat the oven to 425 degrees.
- Lay a wire rack on a cookie sheet. Spray with cooking spray. Baking the chicken tenders on a rack ensures they stay crunchy while baking. If you don’t have a wire rack, line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a food processor, pulse pork rinds to the consistency of coarse bread crumbs.
- In a flat dish, mix together the pork rind crumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Set aside.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and mayo.
- Dip the chicken tenders in the egg mixture.
- Lay the chicken tenders on the crumb mixture. Spoon the mixture over the tenders and press the crumbs into the chicken.
- Lay the tenders on the rack. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.
- If cooking on parchment paper, flip the tenders halfway through cooking so they are crispy and golden brown on both sides.
- Enjoy! If desired, these chicken tenders can be pan fried in avocado oil instead of baking.
