Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken thighs
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Coconut oil (for frying)
- 8 pieces Metal or bamboo skewers
Instructions
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch in size.
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning.
In a bowl, mix together the almond flour and Parmesan cheese. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the mixture and stir until combined.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
Dip each chicken skewer into the beaten eggs, ensuring all the chicken pieces are well-coated.
Roll each skewer in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well to the chicken.
Heat coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep to shallow fry.
Carefully add the skewers to the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Transfer the cooked skewers to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Serve hot with a side of keto-friendly dipping sauce or your favorite low-carb vegetables.
