01 - Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg and heavy cream until fully combined.
03 - In another bowl, combine almond flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper.
04 - Dip each chicken tender into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly in the almond flour mixture. Place coated tenders on a plate.
05 - Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken tenders in batches for 2 to 3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to prepared baking sheet.
06 - Bake tenders for 10 to 12 minutes, or until cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
07 - While tenders bake, whisk together hot sauce, melted butter, and garlic powder in a bowl until well combined.
08 - In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, sour cream, chives, parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, and lemon juice until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Refrigerate until serving.
09 - Once chicken tenders are cooked, toss them in the buffalo sauce until evenly coated.
