Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 2 large egg
- 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
Instructions
Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution of all the spices.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened coconut milk until smooth.
Dip each chicken thigh into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off before dredging in the flour mixture. Ensure each piece is well-coated.
In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan by about half an inch.
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the coated chicken thighs to the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook them in batches.
Fry the chicken thighs for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (75°C).
Transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving with your favorite keto-friendly sides.
