Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds boneless skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 cups oil for frying (avocado or coconut)
Instructions
Cut the boneless skinless chicken thighs into 1.5 to 2 inch pieces.
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
In another bowl, mix the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and baking powder.
Heat oil in a large heavy skillet or deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).
Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture first, allowing any excess to drip off.
Then dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
Carefully place the coated chicken pieces in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding.
Fry the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken pieces from oil and place them on a wire rack to drain excess oil.
Serve the fried chicken warm with keto-friendly dipping sauces or sides.
