Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 pieces chicken drumsticks
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed.
In another bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly.
Rinse and pat the chicken drumsticks dry with paper towels.
Dip each drumstick into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's completely covered.
Transfer the drumstick into the bowl with the almond flour mixture and coat thoroughly, pressing the mixture onto the drumstick to ensure it sticks.
Place the breaded drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.
Melt the coconut oil in a small pan over low heat or in the microwave, then drizzle it over the breaded drumsticks.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, turning halfway through, until the drumsticks are golden brown and have reached an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the drumsticks rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy Paleo Breaded Chicken Drumsticks!
