Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken thighs
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 cups Avocado oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
In another bowl, beat the eggs and heavy cream together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Dip each chicken thigh into the egg and cream mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Then, dredge the coated chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing down to make sure the coating adheres well.
Place the coated chicken pieces on a plate and let them rest for about 10 minutes to allow the breading to set.
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the avocado oil to 350°F (175°C).
Carefully add the chicken thighs to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally.
Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Classic Deep Fried Chicken with your favorite keto-friendly dips or sides.
