Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large egg
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
- 4 pieces lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces sugar-free pickle slices
- 4 pieces keto slider buns
- 4 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 teaspoons hot sauce
Instructions
Start by flattening the chicken thighs to an even thickness using a meat mallet to ensure even cooking.
In a bowl, mix the almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Add garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the egg mixture and stir to combine.
Dip each chicken thigh into the egg mixture, allowing the excess to drip off.
Coat the chicken thighs with the almond flour and Parmesan cheese mixture, pressing gently to ensure they are fully covered.
Heat avocado oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
Carefully place the coated chicken thighs into the hot oil and fry for about 5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and fully cooked through.
Transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Lightly toast the keto slider buns in a toaster or on a skillet.
In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise and hot sauce.
Spread a tablespoon of the spicy mayonnaise mixture on each slider bun.
Add a lettuce leaf and a sugar-free pickle slice to each bun.
Place a piece of fried chicken on top of the lettuce and assemble the slider with the top bun.
Serve immediately and enjoy your keto fried chicken sliders.
