Ingredients

• 12 pieces Chicken drumettes
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Paprika
• 0.25 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 0.75 cup Almond flour
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large Eggs

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Step 2

Prepare the chicken drumettes by frenching them: Using a sharp knife, cut through the skin and tendons around the narrow end of the drumette and push the meat down towards the thicker end to create a 'lollipop' shape.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and cayenne pepper. Rub this spice mixture all over the chicken lollipops.

Step 4

In a shallow dish, combine the almond flour and grated Parmesan cheese.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.

Step 6

Dip each spiced chicken lollipop in the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.

Step 7

Roll the egg-coated chicken drumette in the almond flour-Parmesan mixture, pressing down lightly to adhere the coating.

Step 8

Place the coated chicken drumettes onto the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 9

Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the coated chicken lollipops to help them crisp while baking.

Step 10

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken lollipops are golden brown and cooked through, with an internal temperature of at least 165°F (75°C).

Step 11

Serve the low carb chicken lollipops hot as a delicious appetizer or party snack.
