Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup tapioca starch
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 egg
- 0.25 cup coconut milk
- 1 cup coconut oil
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, tapioca starch, coconut flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper. Stir until well mixed.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg and coconut milk. Set aside.
Dip each chicken drumstick into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
After soaking in the egg mixture, dredge each drumstick in the flour mixture, pressing the flour onto the chicken to ensure it sticks well.
Heat the coconut oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). The oil should be deep enough to submerge the chicken halfway.
Carefully place the drumsticks into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
Fry the chicken for about 12-15 minutes per side, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the fried chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the Paleo Ayam Goreng Tepung hot, with your favorite side dishes.
