Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Arrowroot powder
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil
- 8 leaves Romaine lettuce leaves
- 8 slices Pickle slices
- 4 tablespoons Mustard
Instructions
Place the chicken thighs between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them with a meat mallet to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, arrowroot powder, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
Dip each chicken thigh into the egg mixture, shaking off any excess, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, ensuring it's evenly coated.
Heat the coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Carefully add the chicken thighs to the skillet, cooking for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
To assemble the sliders, take one piece of fried chicken and place it on a romaine lettuce leaf. Top with a pickle slice and a tablespoon of mustard.
Cover with another lettuce leaf to enclose the ingredients like a bun.
Repeat with the remaining chicken and ingredients to make four sliders in total.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Paleo Fried Chicken Sliders.
