Paleo Fried Chicken
Ingredients
-
Cooking oil/fat of your choice
-
Salt and pepper, as desired
-
Dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
-
2 tsp. garlic powder
-
1 tsp. paprika
-
2 eggs
-
1 cup almond flour
-
4 chicken thighs
Method
-
01Crack the eggs in a bowl and whisk.
-
02In another bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together (almond flour/meal, paprika, garlic powder, salt/pepper and cayenne pepper if you want a kick!).
-
03Dip the chicken thigh into the bowl of eggs, then into the flour mixture.
-
04Heat up your cooking oil (I used a mixture of coconut oil and butter, but if you are going for a dairy-free option, skip the butter and use coconut oil or olive oil instead.) in a pan.
-
05Once your oil is heated and ready, place your chicken pieces into the pan slowly. Be careful here as the oil is hot and you don’t want to get burned!
-
06Cook the chicken thoroughly (about 10-12 minutes on each side) on medium-high heat or until juices run clear. I used tongs for this as it makes it easier.
