Ingredients
- 1 pound Chicken thighs
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 cup Coconut oil (for frying)
- 8 pieces Metal or bamboo skewers
Directions
Step 1
Cut the chicken thighs into bite-sized pieces, approximately 1 inch in size.
Step 2
If using bamboo skewers, soak them in water for at least 10 minutes to prevent burning.
Step 3
In a bowl, mix together the almond flour and Parmesan cheese. Add garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the mixture and stir until combined.
Step 4
In another bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed.
Step 5
Thread the chicken pieces onto the skewers, leaving space between pieces for even cooking.
Step 6
Dip each chicken skewer into the beaten eggs, ensuring all the chicken pieces are well-coated.
Step 7
Roll each skewer in the almond flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well to the chicken.
Step 8
Heat coconut oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. The oil should be about 1/4 inch deep to shallow fry.
Step 9
Carefully add the skewers to the pan, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
Step 10
Transfer the cooked skewers to a paper towel-lined plate to absorb any excess oil.
Step 11
Serve hot with a side of keto-friendly dipping sauce or your favorite low-carb vegetables.
