Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large egg
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, mix together almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.
Pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks well.
Dip each drumstick into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Let any excess drip off.
Press the drumstick into the almond flour mixture, covering it evenly and pressing down slightly to adhere.
Place the coated drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not touching.
Brush each piece of chicken with a bit of melted butter to help them brown and crisp up in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden and crispy.
Check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your keto oven-fried chicken!
