Preheat oven to 400º Fahrenheit. Prepare a broiling pan with a rack by wiping with coconut oil or other oil of preference. A baking tray with a rack may be used as well.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the egg and the hot sauce. Set aside.
In a second small mixing bowl, whisk together the pecorino romano, almond flour, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and sea salt.
One by one, dip the chicken strips in the egg mixture. Turn to coat.
Then, dip the egg coated strip in the spicy coating, turning to coat and pressing down slightly if necessary.
Place coated chicken strip on the prepared baking tray. Repeat for the rest of the strips.
Bake the strips in the top third of the preheated oven for about 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165º Fahrenheit. Turn the oven to the broil setting. Broil the chicken for 1-3 minutes or until the coating turns golden and crispy.
