Servings: 4
Ingredients
- Avocado oil
- 1 cup (for frying)
- Eggs
- 2 large, beaten
- Salt
- 1 teaspoon
- Black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon
- Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon
- Paprika
- 1 teaspoon
- Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup, grated
- Almond flour
- 1 cup
- Chicken thighs
- 4, skin-on and bone-in for extra flavor
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until evenly distributed.
- In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
- Dip each chicken thigh into the beaten eggs, allowing excess egg to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres well.
- Heat avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. To test the oil, drop a small amount of the coating into the oil; it should sizzle immediately.
- Carefully place the coated chicken thighs in the skillet, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 5-6 minutes per side, or until each side is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving to retain its juiciness.
- Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs like parsley or thyme if desired, and enjoy your delicious keto fried chicken!
