Instructions
1 Preheat oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. 2 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”. 3 Add the chicken, coat well, and let sit for about 10 minutes. 4 Place corn flakes in medium-sized shallow bowl and crush with (clean) hands until crumbled. 5 Add almond flour, cajun seasoning and salt to cornflakes and mix. 6 Remove a piece of chicken from the bowl and dredge in corn flake mixture until coated well. Place on prepared baking sheet. 7 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. 8 Serve with your choice of dips - BBQ Sauce and Ranch are good choices!View original recipe
