Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 4 chicken thighs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp paprika
- 2 tsp garlic powder
- Dash of cayenne pepper (optional)
- Salt and pepper, as desired
- Cooking oil/fat of your choice
Instructions
- 1
Crack the eggs in a bowl and whisk.
- 2
In another bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together (almond flour/meal, paprika, garlic powder, salt/pepper and cayenne pepper if you want a kick!).
- 3
Dip the chicken thigh in to the bowl of eggs, then in to the flour mixture.
- 4
Heat up your cooking oil/fat in a pan on medium heat. Note about the heat: Almond flour/meal burns more easily than normal flour, which means that if the heat is too high, you will end up with some burnt friend chicken so start at medium, and bump down the heat and cook longer as needed!
- 5
Once your oil is heated and ready, place your chicken pieces in to the pan slowly. Do not crowd the chicken (this will also help it not burn).
- 6
Cook the chicken for about 10 minutes, and then using tongs, flip them over to the other side. Now, cook for another 10-15 minutes or until juices run clear. (Remember the note from before, that if the chicken is burning, to bump down heat/cook longer!)
