Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken thighs, skin-on, bone-in
• 1 cup almond flour
• 0.5 cup grated parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 eggs
• 3 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0 coconut oil, for frying
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 3 tablespoons sugar-free honey substitute
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
• 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
• 2 tablespoons water

Directions

Step 1

In a shallow bowl, mix together the almond flour, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until well combined.

Step 3

Pat the chicken thighs dry with paper towels. Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated, then dredge it in the almond flour mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.

Step 4

Heat enough coconut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat to cover the bottom of the pan to about 1/2 inch depth.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot and shimmering, carefully add the coated chicken thighs, skin side down, and fry for about 8-10 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through to an internal temperature of 165°F.

Step 6

Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest on a paper towel-lined plate while you prepare the sauce.

Step 7

In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic, cooking for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 8

Stir in the sugar-free honey substitute, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and water. Let it simmer for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce slightly thickens.

Step 9

Serve the fried chicken hot, drizzled with the honey garlic sauce. Enjoy!
