Ingredients
- 8 pieces Chicken thighs
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 0.5 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 3 large Eggs
- 0.25 cups Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 2 cups Avocado oil
Directions
Step 1
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix well to ensure even distribution of spices.
Step 2
In another bowl, beat the eggs and heavy cream together until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Step 3
Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
Step 4
Dip each chicken thigh into the egg and cream mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.
Step 5
Then, dredge the coated chicken in the almond flour mixture, pressing down to make sure the coating adheres well.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken pieces on a plate and let them rest for about 10 minutes to allow the breading to set.
Step 7
In a large skillet or deep fryer, heat the avocado oil to 350°F (175°C).
Step 8
Carefully add the chicken thighs to the hot oil, working in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 10-12 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, turning occasionally.
Step 9
Remove the fried chicken from the oil and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
Step 10
Serve hot and enjoy your Keto Classic Deep Fried Chicken with your favorite keto-friendly dips or sides.
