Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken thighs
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 8 units Red bird's eye chilies
- 4 units Garlic cloves
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 cup Avocado oil (or coconut oil for frying)
Instructions
Rinse the chicken thighs and pat them dry with paper towels.
In a shallow dish, combine almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.
Dip each chicken thigh into the egg mixture to coat, then dredge in the flour mixture, pressing down to ensure an even coating. Set aside.
In a large skillet, heat avocado oil over medium-high heat.
Fry the chicken pieces in batches until golden brown and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes per side. Use a meat thermometer to ensure an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove cooked chicken pieces and drain on paper towels.
For the sambal: In a mortar and pestle or food processor, crush the red bird's eye chilies and garlic cloves into a rough paste.
In a small pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the chili paste and sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the mixture becomes fragrant.
Pour the chili sauce over the crispy fried chicken.
Using the back of a spoon or a pestle, gently press down on each chicken piece to 'geprek' or smash the chicken, mixing it slightly with the chili sauce.
Serve immediately with slices of cucumber or a side salad to complement the heat.
