Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 lbs bone-in, skin-on chicken pieces
- 1 cup coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 cup coconut flour
- 1 cup cassava flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 cup avocado oil
Instructions
In a large bowl, combine the coconut milk, lime juice, minced garlic, ground coriander, ground turmeric, ground ginger, and sea salt. Whisk until well mixed to form the marinade.
Add the chicken pieces to the marinade, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or overnight for more flavor.
In another bowl, mix together the coconut flour, cassava flour, baking soda, and black pepper.
Remove the chicken from the marinade, allowing excess marinade to drip off but still leaving the chicken moist.
Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour mixture, pressing lightly to ensure the flour adheres to the chicken.
In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the chicken pieces to the skillet, skin side down, and cook for about 12-15 minutes per side, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Place cooked chicken on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Serve hot with a side of your favorite Whole30-compliant vegetables or salad.
