Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup Frank's RedHot Original Cayenne Pepper Sauce
- 2 tablespoons ghee
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized cubes, about 1-inch each.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy.
Dip each chicken piece into the beaten eggs, allow excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the flour mixture. Place the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
In a small saucepan, melt the ghee over low heat and stir it into the Frank's RedHot sauce. Mix until well combined, then remove from heat.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken pieces in batches, cooking for about 3-4 minutes per side, until golden and crispy.
Once all chicken bites are cooked, place them in a large mixing bowl. Pour the buffalo sauce over the chicken and toss until well-coated.
Transfer the coated chicken bites back to the baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through and the sauce is nicely baked on.
Serve hot with your favorite Paleo-compliant dipping sauce or celery sticks.
