Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large (approximately 1 pound total) chicken breast
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup hot sauce
- 1 cup vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the chicken breasts. Slice each breast into bite-sized chunks, approximately 1 to 1.5 inches in size.
In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs thoroughly to create an egg wash.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg wash, ensuring it is completely coated.
Transfer the egg-coated chicken piece into the almond flour mixture. Press the mixture onto the chicken to form an even coating. Repeat this process for all chicken pieces.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Working in batches, add the coated chicken pieces to the skillet. Fry each piece for about 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the cooked chicken from the skillet and set on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Once melted, add the hot sauce and stir until fully combined. Remove from heat.
Place the cooked chicken pieces in a large mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken and gently toss to coat each piece thoroughly.
Serve your Keto Boneless Buffalo Wings immediately, with celery sticks and keto-friendly ranch dressing on the side, if desired.
