Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken thighs
• 1 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.25 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, Parmesan cheese, coconut flour, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. This will be your dry coating mix.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined. This will be your wet coating mix.

Step 4

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels to ensure the coating sticks well.

Step 5

Dip each chicken thigh first into the wet mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, and then coat it thoroughly in the dry mix. Press the mixture onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well.

Step 6

Heat the unsalted butter and olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 7

Once the butter is melted and hot, add the chicken thighs to the skillet skin-side down. Cook for about 3 minutes on one side until golden brown, then flip and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes.

Step 8

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for about 5 minutes before serving to ensure juices are evenly distributed.

Step 10

Serve the Keto Crispy Chicken hot, optionally with a side of your favorite keto-friendly vegetables or salad.
