Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil or lard for frying
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Instructions
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, mix almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until combined.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until they are well mixed.
Dip each chicken thigh into the egg, let any excess drip off, and then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Set aside on a plate.
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil or lard over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs. Cook each side for about 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
In a separate small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in xanthan gum to form a roux. Slowly add heavy cream while stirring until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the crispy fried chicken with a generous drizzle of the creamy gravy. Enjoy!
