Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken thighs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.25 cup coconut flour
- 0.25 cup arrowroot powder
- 1 large egg
- 0.25 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup coconut oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, coconut flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, sea salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
In another bowl, whisk together the egg and unsweetened almond milk until smooth.
Dip each chicken thigh into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating evenly.
Heat the coconut oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs, skin-side down if applicable, and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the coating is golden brown.
Flip the chicken and let it cook for another 2-3 minutes on the other side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Paleo Crispy Chicken warm with your favorite Paleo-friendly side dishes.
