Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs
- 1.5 cups almond flour
- 0.5 cup, grated parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 0.25 teaspoon, optional red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a shallow bowl, mix almond flour, parmesan cheese, smoked paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper together.
In another bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each chicken thigh into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated, then press into the almond flour mixture, covering all surfaces.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the chicken, skin-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes per side or until golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and crispy.
While the chicken is baking, prepare the honey garlic sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, apple cider vinegar, and red pepper flakes.
Bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring frequently, and cook for 3-5 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
Once the chicken is done, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Drizzle with honey garlic sauce before serving, or serve the sauce on the side for dipping.
