Ingredients
- 4 Chicken thighs, boneless and skinless
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 Eggs
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.5 cup Coconut oil or lard for frying
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Xanthan gum
Directions
Step 1
Season the chicken thighs with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.
Step 2
In a shallow dish, mix almond flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika until combined.
Step 3
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until they are well mixed.
Step 4
Dip each chicken thigh into the egg, let any excess drip off, and then dredge in the almond flour mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Set aside on a plate.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat coconut oil or lard over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken thighs. Cook each side for about 6-8 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 6
In a separate small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in xanthan gum to form a roux. Slowly add heavy cream while stirring until the mixture thickens and becomes smooth. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Step 7
Serve the crispy fried chicken with a generous drizzle of the creamy gravy. Enjoy!
