Ingredients
- 6 pieces chicken thighs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 0.5 cup coconut flour
- 2 large egg
- 0.5 cup unsweetened coconut milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 cup avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
Start by patting the chicken thighs dry with paper towels.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine the almond flour, coconut flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, salt, and baking powder. Mix well to ensure even distribution of all the spices.
Step 3
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and unsweetened coconut milk until smooth.
Step 4
Dip each chicken thigh into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off before dredging in the flour mixture. Ensure each piece is well-coated.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the avocado oil over medium-high heat. You want enough oil to cover the bottom of the pan by about half an inch.
Step 6
Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the coated chicken thighs to the skillet in a single layer. Do not overcrowd the pan; you may need to cook them in batches.
Step 7
Fry the chicken thighs for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches at least 165°F (75°C).
Step 8
Transfer the fried chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.
Step 9
Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving with your favorite keto-friendly sides.
