1
Preheat your oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2
In a shallow bowl, combine sweetened shredded coconut flakes, panko breadcrumbs, ground paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, and coconut oil. Stir until evenly combined and damp.
3
In another shallow bowl, combine eggs, salt, and black pepper, and whisk together.
4
Using kitchen tongs, dip each chicken tender in the egg mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, then shake off the excess.
5
Dip the chicken tender into the breadcrumb mixture, flipping it to make sure it is evenly coated on both sides, and place it on the prepared baking sheet.
6
Repeat the process with the remaining chicken tenders.
7
Bake for 20 minutes, turning the chicken tenders over after 10 minutes, or until they are golden brown and fully cooked through.
8
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for about 5 minutes before serving.

Serve the chicken tenders with sweet chili sauce or your favorite dipping sauce.
