Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Stir together almond milk and lemon juice/vinegar in a large bowl and let sit 10 minutes so the milk can go “sour” and form “buttermilk”.
Add the chicken, coat well, and let sit for about 10 minutes.
Place corn flakes in medium-sized shallow bowl and crush with (clean) hands until crumbled.
Add almond flour, cajun seasoning and salt to cornflakes and mix.
Remove a piece of chicken from the bowl and dredge in corn flake mixture until coated well. Place on prepared baking sheet.
Lightly spray with cooking oil and bake for about 15 minutes or until chicken is cooked through. For a crispy bottom, flip for the last 3-5 minutes.
Serve with your choice of dips - BBQ Sauce and Ranch are good choices!
