Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 tablespoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 1 cup Butter
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
Instructions
Rinse and pat dry the chicken drumsticks with paper towels. Set aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to form the coating mixture.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until fully combined.
Dip each chicken drumstick into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then roll it in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it's completely coated. Repeat for all drumsticks.
In a deep skillet or frying pan, heat the butter and coconut oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Carefully place the coated chicken drumsticks in the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook in batches if necessary.
Fry the chicken for about 15 minutes on one side, then turn and cook for another 10-15 minutes on the other side, until the chicken is golden brown and crispy, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove the fried chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your Keto Classic Fried Chicken with your choice of low-carb sides!
