Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 pounds Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Almond flour
- 0.25 cup Coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 Eggs
- 0.25 cup Ghee or clarified butter
- 0.5 cup Hot sauce (Whole30 compliant)
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a wire rack on top of the baking sheet for extra crispiness.
Cut the chicken breasts into bite-sized pieces, about 1 to 1.5 inches thick.
In a shallow bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir until well mixed.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the flour mixture, pressing to adhere.
Place the coated chicken bites onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
While the chicken is baking, melt the ghee in a small saucepan over low heat. Once melted, remove from heat and stir in the hot sauce until fully combined.
Once the chicken bites are done, remove them from the oven and carefully toss them in the buffalo sauce mixture until evenly coated.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chopped parsley if desired.
